   • 2009 January 3, Amy Zipkin, “Drugstores, Too, Feel Recession Pain”, in The New York Times‎^[1], archived from the original on 26 November 2022:

     In past recessions, drugstores were virtually immune from a turndown. […] If a patient comes into a pharmacy and has a prescription for an injectable or infused product, we’ll be able to take that prescription, scan it in and send the injectable to the patient’s home or a drugstore or refer them to one of our home infusion facilities for therapy.

• Generally not used for pharmacies included within a larger store, run as a department within a hospital, etc.
