Apothecary (/əˈpɒθəkəri/) is an archaic English term for a medical professional who formulates and dispenses materia medica (medicine) to physicians, surgeons and patients. The modern terms ‘pharmacist’ and ‘chemist’ (British English) have taken over this role.

Herbalists cannot diagnose, prescribe, or treat patients (unless they have a medical license in another field that confers those rights). They can, however, legally recommend, educate about, and dispense specific herbs. Clients should know that any herbalist they work with cannot diagnose a medical condition or disease or treat illness.
