Pharmacy as name implied that people taught selling medicine and prescribed drug, but nowadays, those healthy supplement product (vitamins), and heath care product (from shampoo, to toothpaste etc) may the main selling revenue for some pharmacy, while those medicine just occupy a small corner only of the shop only.

In term of business pov, pharmacy is not about selling medicine only.

I agree. The sale of prescribed medicine and off the counter medicine might not be viable enough for the pharmacy. Adding health supplements and health care products are definitely necessary. However a word of caution not to sell everything in the pharmacy such that it becomes more like a provision shop.

Stick to medicine and health related products. At the end of the day, if the pharmacy provides good advice to customers then more people may patronize it.

I came across this website which contains some useful tips for startups. The website is at http://www.startbizup.com.
