A chemist is an individual trained to sell medicines as a qualified dispenser. A druggist prepares drugs according to medical prescription. The owner of a Drugstore.

There is little or no difference between the meaning of the words. Druggist, recognized as being used in the United Kingdom more than in other English speaking parts of the world, is a description in decline. The word Chemist is seen on all shop fronts these days
