⚠️ The trap
Nearly a true cognate — but in Italy, a farmacia only sells medicines and health products. You won't find snacks or cosmetics there like in some English-speaking countries' pharmacies.
To say "a place where medicinal drugs are dispensed" in Italian:
farmacia is a true cognate
"farmacia" in English means:
pharmacy, chemist's shop

"Devo passare in farmacia a comprare le medicine."
"I need to stop at the pharmacy to buy medicine."
