Hi Ivy,

You can say -

Je vais chez le pharmacien/la pharmacienne ( pharmacist) 

or 

à la pharmacie ( shop)

Hope that helps!

Whenever the location signifies a person, you use chez. Chez le docteur, chez le pharmacien, chez moi, etc.

Otherwise it is à: à l'hôpial, à la pharmacie, à la maison, etc.
