Unlike over-the-counter products, these pharmaceuticals treat complex conditions ranging from hypertension to oncology therapies, necessitating professional oversight.

Chain pharmacies dominate prescription distribution through standardized operations across multiple locations. Major players like CVS Health and Walgreens Boots Alliance leverage their scale to optimize inventory management, patient counseling services, and third-party payer relationships, creating a $320B+ ecosystem.
