An apothecary was a person preparing, advising on and giving medicine. This would be the equivalent to a pharmacist today (but pharmacist is called "chemist" in British English..., but chemist has also other meaning, so pharmacist is probably a better option)

Answer:

There are two options here as answer: Pharmacist.

Explanation:

The activity of apothecary has been known to exist in the world since ancient Babylon, around 2600 BCE and their job was to administer medical services through the use and manipulation of herbal substances and plants to treat different ailments. Aside from this, they could also act as medical advisers, as they were considered the healers of ancient times. Later on, the knowledge acquired by apothecaries, the study of plants and herbal medicine became precursors to the birth of pharmacology and chemistry. In modern times, there are some parts of the world where apothecaries are still known, and they are retail pharmacists who own such stores. Although the direct descendant of the activity of apothecaries, is pharmacology, it is important to understand that in other parts of the world, as Britain, pharmacologists and pharmacists are known as chemists.
