In this era of mega-chains and online shopping, there is a unicorn in Pacific Grove – an independently owned and operated pharmacy. Their philosophy: “We believe in taking care of our customers like family.” When it comes to your health and dialing in the right medication at the right dosage, plus a pharmacist who will listen if you have concerns about side effects, that philosophy matters. Note that independent doesn’t mean retro; you can use a mobile app to get reminders about refills. There’s a lot of expertise and customization at this compounding pharmacy to suit every need; they even offer veterinary compounding to get the right meds to your pet. They didn’t tell us to say this, but we’ll remind you anyway: Get your flu shot. You can do it at CAPRx.
