As indicated by the "Rx" logo, Yau Tsim Mong has the highest number of pharmacies. More than a hundred pharmacies can be found in this district. Less than a dozen pharmacies are located in Southern and Islands. The graduated colours shows that the percentage of chain pharmacy is the least for Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Kowloon City.

截至2013年1月，全港共有568間獲授權毒藥銷售商（通稱「藥房」），當中94間是兩間大型企業開設的連鎖藥房。地圖顯示香港各區的藥房分佈及連鎖藥房佔區內藥房的百分比。
依圖中「Rx」標誌所示，油尖旺區是本港最多藥房所在的區域，超過一百間藥房在此區營業；相反，南區及離島區的藥房總數則不多於12間。依圖中顏色所示，屯門區、元朗區及九龍城區的連鎖藥房佔區內藥房的百分比為十八區中最少；而於近年發展的新市鎮，如離島區的東涌、西貢區的將軍澳及沙田區的馬鞍山，連鎖藥房比率則較高。

Medicine shops 藥物零售商
Authorized Sellers of Poisons (ASP) are usually known as pharmacies or dispensaries. Each ASP is allowed to sell prescription medicines under the authority of a prescription with the supervision of a pharmacist, who will be on duty at specified hours. This type of medicine shops is allowed to use or display the "Rx" logo. Listed Sellers of Poisons (LSP) are also referred as "medicine stores". There is no pharmacist on duty in LSP. For LSP, sale of pharmaceutical product containing Part I poisons and use of the "Rx" logo are prohibited. However, LSP are authorized to sell non-poisons or Part II poisons, such as cold and flu medications. The general public can find all the registered pharmacies (ASP) in the website of Drug Office.
獲授權毒藥銷售商（通稱「藥房」）可於藥劑師監督下，按照處方銷售醫生處方藥物。這類藥物零售商會於指定時間內有藥劑師當值，並容許利用或展示「Rx」標誌。
列載毒藥銷售商（通稱「藥行」）並沒有藥劑師當值。因此，藥行只可售賣非毒藥或屬第II部毒藥的藥劑製品（如傷風感冒藥），而不能出售含第I部毒藥的藥劑製品，同時亦禁止使用「Rx」標誌。
市民可於藥物辦公室的網站中搜尋已註冊的藥房名單。
