Looks Like Everyone is Getting into the Compounding Business
Walgreens, CVS/Caremark, Publix Supermarkets, etc., do have a few "central fill" compounding pharmacies that will ship compounded scripts to other locations in their pharmacy chain. The "quality" of their compounding May or may not be good enough for the patient's needs as not every compounding pharmacist knows how to do every formula right. For example, compounding thyroid meds - a trick is that you have to use a "plastic sieve", as thyroid hormones stick to metal sieves, reducing the potency of the final compounded product. Not everyone knows that.
