Around here there are 3 types of "shops": pharmacies, "parapharmacies" (dispensing no), drug stores (misleading name, they sell anything but drugs, etc. detergents, tooth brush, baby food, beverages and sweets, sometimes  foto "development", toilet paper, stationery, nutrition supplements, (cheaper) make up, ...)

In British English a chemist and pharmacy are the same and used interchangeably . Pharmacy has only been used in recent years, when I was growing up it was always a chemist.

Older people still tend to use chemist.
