medicine cabinet
Usage Note
Pharmacie refers both to the pharmacy shop and to the profession of pharmacist. In France, pharmacies display a distinctive green neon cross sign and are licensed to provide basic medical advice — a cultural institution, not just a shop. Armoire à pharmacie or simply pharmacie also means the medicine cabinet at home.
Examples
"Je vais à la pharmacie chercher des médicaments."
