Compared with Chinese pharmacies and pharmacies, the latter is run by Chinese medicine or pharmacists, while western pharmacies are run by pharmacists. In Hong Kong, only those pharmacies with resident pharmacists and pharmacy licenses can be called pharmacies.

According to the laws of many countries or regions, when selling certain drugs in western pharmacies, it must be supervised by a registered pharmacist, such as prescription drugs that need a doctor's prescription, because some western medicines may be dangerous to users if used improperly, and it needs the professional judgment of pharmacists to decide whether they are suitable for sale to customers and use them under the guidance of pharmacists. If pharmacists are on holiday or off duty, western pharmacies can't sell those drugs.
