At the chemist’s all drugs are kept in the drug cabinets. Every small bottle or box has a label with the name of the medicine. There are labels of three colors. White labels are stuck to indicate drugs for internal use. Yellow labels are stuck to indicate drugs for external use, and blue ones are used to indicate drugs for injections. The name of the drug, its dose and the directions for its administration are usually indicated on a signature or a label. It is necessary to avoid confusing of remedies because some of them are poisonous and their overdosage may cause untoward reactions and sometimes even death.

In the drug cabinets you can see drugs of different kinds: tablets, pills, ampules with drugs for intramuscular and intravenous injections, sedatives, tonics, laxatives, parcels with different powders, bottles with cod liver oil, tubes of healing ointments for rubbing in; vitamins, bromide, sleeping-draughts, bottles with iodine and so on.

Besides different kinds of remedies you can buy all the necessary things for medical care such as hot – water bottles and medicine droppers.

Some drugs such as mixtures have to be ordered at the prescription department. The chemist usually takes the prescription and says when the medicine will be ready. He may advise to keep the medicine in a cool place and shake it before using.
