para-pharmacy
Explanation:
Definition of a para-pharmacy?

In Italy a parapharmacy is a shop selling all the products sold by a pharmacy except those strictly requiring a prescription; it does not require the same degree of authorisation. It probably doesn't exist in countries where aspirin, paracetamol etc. are freely sold in supermarkets.

Non-Dispensing Pharmacy

McKesson's onsite Non-Dispensing Pharmacy (NDP) is a licensed pharmacy that expedites prescriptions for specialty drugs. It does not dispense drugs, but receives orders from physicians, reviews them for accuracy, and contacts physicians or patients for any missing information. It then electronically transmits "clean" orders to the preferred specialty or retail pharmacy.
