Explanation:
farmasøytisk(e) is the adjective.
farmasøyt in the noun.
farmasøyt is a person who has an education as a pharmacist from one of the pharmacy universities in Norway. He/she could be employed in the pharmaceutical industry or as a teacher.
The pharmacist who manages an apotek is called an apoteker.
Other pharmacists employed in an apotek would be called provisor.

I'm not quite sure if you actually have to own the pharmacy (not just be the manager) to be called apoteker.
And watch for the difference between
apotekene = the pharmacies and
apotekerne = the pharmacists
