Pharmacophile 

A lover of all things pharmacological.

I could get cocaine or its chemical equivalent in three seconds flat, along with various hallucinogenic plants my chemistry-loving husband has found advertised on the internet. We're a family of pharmacophiles (Rat Park: The Radical Addiction Experiment).

Pharmaphile

A person deeply passionate about all forms of medicine—prescription drugs, supplements, traditional Chinese medicine, and over-the-counter products—who thoroughly studies their effects and shares insights, reviews, and knowledge, often on platforms like YouTube and tiktok.

Example:
He’s such a pharmophile — when we went abroad he spent half an hour in a chemist getting excited about a cough medicine you can’t buy back home.

Lee: Bruv, you seen that Grant Harting on YouTube? That pharmacist geezer who goes round chemists getting excited about all the medicines?

Frank: Oh yeah, I know — he's amusing, bruv. LOL.

Lee: Someone in the comments called him a pharmaphile in the comment section, and it made him well happy. LOL
.
Frank: LOL.

Lee: LOL.
