The pharmacy field in the 1800s put the “wild” in “Wild West.” Pharmacies were an open frontier – pretty much anyone could buy a diploma for $50 and begin their practice. As a result, snake oil salesmen were running rampant, claiming that various maladies could be cured with a simple tonic. Thankfully, those days are long gone, and we now have trusted pharmacists such as those at Central Avenue Pharmacy who provide actual medications, as well as a variety of natural vitamins and supplements. In addition to over-the-counter products such as cold and allergy medication, the pharmacy provides immunizations, prescription refills and many other services, and has done so for more than 30 years.
