Abstract Pharmacist (An Online Pharmaceutical Product Buying Website with Chatbot), as the name implies, is a website with a chatbot that will assist you in purchasing pharmaceutical products online. Getting out of flats or houses is no longer practicable or safe, so to purchase products available in medical stores, we have built a website that allows you to do so while sitting at home or wherever you are. This website contains all of the products that can be found in medical stores. It has one feature that allows you to buy drugs by simply inputting symptoms. You can buy the things at a lower cost by taking advantage of reductions at the regular price. Your product will be delivered to your home for free.
Key Words: Pharmacy, Chatbot
1. INTRODUCTION
The web application for online drug purchase is quickly becoming a widely acknowledged and used business model.Moreandmorecompaniesareputtingupwebsites withfeaturesthatallowcustomerstopurchasemedicines online.Itisfairtoarguethatonlinepurchasingisgrowing more common. Medicine apps, often known as medicine delivery apps, have revolutionized the healthcare business. Rapidly evolving innovation is improving the human world in a positive way. We cannot overlook the importanceofmedicineandothermedicalitems;whether achild,ateenager,oranelderlyperson,everyonerequires medical aidatsomepoint.Consumersmayskiplonglines bydownloadingapharmaceuticaldeliveryapporgoingon thewebsite,whichallowsthemtoacquiretheirmedicines on time and at their doorway. The online app simplifies the users' lives and assists with online pharmaceuticaltransactions.Thiswebapplicationaimsto alleviate the problems that the current system has, while simultaneously providing low cost ownership. Furthermore, this system is tailored to meet the specific needs of all users in terms of completing operations in a timelyandefficientmanner.Afterthedoctorhasreviewed theprescription,onlythecustomerwillbeabletoplacean order; additionally, all drugs must be confirmed and certified by a registered pharmacist prior to delivery. It offersadatastoragefacilityaswellaseasyandinteractive dataretrieval,suchasprescriptionorderhistoryforfuture usages,suchaswhenacustomerrequiresamonthlyrefill of some prescriptions. With an effective user interface
design, it is user friendly, dependable, and secure. It differs from other pharmaceutical delivery apps in that it includes a bot that will assist the user in finding the medicine he requires. This is the web application’s most importantfeature.
1.1 Motivation
During the Covid 19 crisis, the country was placed on complete lockdown, and citizens were not permitted to leave their homes, making it difficult to purchase medical and personal health care supplies. Medical stores were often located distant from homes in many locations. Ordinary people had a lot of troubles in these situations, and it was rather difficult to arrange medical supplies duringanemergency.:
Thereisasignificantsurgeine commerceplatforms,firms areshiftingtowardsonline resellingofproductsandeven buyers are happy buying them without even stepping out of their houses. Why can’t medicines be delivered online within an hour of being ordered? Groceries and dairy items are delivered within an hour of being ordered, so whynotmedicines?
1.2 Problem Definition
There are many medicine delivery websites and mobile apps on the internet, which are less interactive and less user friendly. The present system does not have filtration withwhichtheycangetthemedicinewithoutconsultinga doctor.
1.3 Methodology to solve the problem
The present systems are less interactive and less user friendly so to overcome that we are going to provide a great User Interface (UI) with a chatbot to order the medicines which will be more interactive and more user friendly. Our system will provide better filtration using that customers can get the medicine by just entering symptoms.

4.1 System Breakdown (Execution Flow):
The goal of this system breakdown is to break down the entire system into various components so that we can create the entire system more easily. It will assist us in getting from the beginning with a system's main function to the intermediate levels down to the level of simple functions. Instead of writing everything down, the Flow Chartbelowcanhelpyouunderstandthesystembetter.

6. SOFTWARE TESTING
6.1 Unit Testing:
Unit testing entails creating test cases to ensure that the program's underlying logic is working properly and that program inputs result invalid outputs. Validation should be performed on all decision branches and internal code flow. It is the testing of the application's individual software parts. This is intrusive structural testing that depends on prior knowledge of the structure. Unit tests areusedtoverifyasinglebusinessprocess,application,or system configuration at the component level. Unit tests guaranteethateachindividualrouteofabusinessprocess follows the published specifications and has clearly definedinputsandoutputs.
1. Functions, classes, procedures, and interfaces are examples of testable parts of a program. Individual pieces of source code are examined to see if they are fit for usage using the unit testing approach.
2. Software engineers write and run unit tests to ensure that code adheres to its design and requirementsandactsasintended.
3. Unittestingisusedtoseparateeachcomponentof a program and ensure that each one is operating properly.
4. This means that when a set of inputs is supplied to a function or method, it should return the appropriate values. When incorrect input is provided, it should gracefully manage errors duringexecution.
5. A unit test is a documented agreement that a pieceofcodemustfulfill

6.2 Integration Testing:
Integration tests are used to see if two or more software components can work together as a single application. Testing is primarily concerned with the fundamental outputofscreensorfieldsandisevent driven.Integration tests verify that, while individual components were satisfied, the combination of components is right and consistent, as demonstrated by successful unit testing. Integration testing is a type of testing that focuses on uncovering issues that occur from the integration of components.
1. We also perform integration testing after combiningtwoseparatecomponents.
2. When two separate modules, Module A and Module B, are merged, integration testing is performed,asshowninthefigurebelow.
7. SUMMARY:
This technique can assist ordinary people in having their medicines and health care supplies delivered to their homes. This also aids small and large scale pharmacies in expanding their consumer base and increasing earnings. Duringanemergency,thistechnologymightbealifesaver formedical institutesandclinics.Ourchatbotallowseven disabled people to obtain their medications in only a few clicks.
8. FUTURE WORK:
For big scale enterprises and companies, this system may be improved and scaled up so that they can simply distribute their products throughout a broad network. To make the flow more user friendly and effective, voice assistants can be introduced. This will benefit both of them, the elderly as well as individuals who are blind or disabled in some way. To expand the local network and connect other InterCitys, network mapping can be done. Doctoral support may be added to provide the customer with valuable assistance in answering any type of query andgivingaqualityconsultingexperience.
