I can't find pharmacy category

[Port]

Why don't you use homeopathic pharmacy? I use it.

Category names will depend on the country you are in and the language you have set on your Google Maps.

For example, "Pharmacy" may appear as "Drug Store" or appear as "Chemist".

In Algeria, English is the third language, so I know that "Drug Store" is equivalent to "Pharmacy" but for "Chemist", it's the first time that it's synonym of "Pharmacy", which worked for me by the way, but i don't know if someone searches the nearest pharmacy what result he will get.

I can confirm that maps shows correctly "chemist" as "pharmacy" when viewing in India. So irrespective of the terminology used while entering data, the displayed information follows local country conventions.  Thanks to everyone for your reply.

@AbdullazizA Try to write it with French or try to disconnect and connect Google Maps.
