We compound many forms of prescription medication for our patients both human and animal. Some of these include Hormone Replacement Therapy in creams, topicals, oral, and other dosage forms, capsules, flavored liquid suspensions, sublingual lozenges, lollipops and gummies for our pediatric patients, weight loss, fertility, pain relief and neuropathy, veterinary medications, and more. We also have a great selection of items and products in our retail store front and gift shop. If you are picking up a prescription and have some time, we encourage you to stop by the Soda Shop and try a delicious malt or milkshake and dine in or grab a bite for the road.
