neutral  Bernhard Sulzer: "strict regulations for the pharmacist 'profession'" would be closer to the original phrasing with "Stand" IMO. But the word profession is sort of implied in the word pharmacist.

agree  Cetacea: Exactly!
1 hr
  -> thank you, Cetacea !

agree  Bernhard Sulzer: I'm with you on "profession" and pharmacist profession or apothecary pr., not nec. on druggist. Here the person allowed to dispense prescription drugs is always called a pharmacist. That's what an "Apotheker" does.
