Abstract Community pharmacy practice is experiencing significant transformations as technological innovations and evolving healthcare needs redefine its role. This paper explores the integration of pharmaceutical care, online pharmacies, and automated dispensing machines (ADMs) into community pharmacy services. Pharmaceutical care emphasizes patient-centric approaches by focusing on medication management, counselling, and health education. Online pharmacy platforms enhance accessibility through e-prescriptions, virtual consultations, and medication delivery, addressing patient demands for convenience. ADMs further improve efficiency by automating dispensing, minimizing errors, and enabling pharmacists to dedicate more time to patient care. However, these innovations present challenges related to digital literacy, privacy, regulatory compliance, and trust. This paper critically examines the impact of these changes on patient outcomes, workflow efficiency, and the future of pharmacy practice, concluding with recommendations for sustainable innovation and policy alignment.

Key words:-Pharmaceutical care, online pharmacies, ADMs, Patient centric, e-prescription,digital literacy ,regulatory compliance,
