No need to stress it at Pharmaca, where customers can fill prescriptions at the traditional pharmacy and tend to their well care with holistic over-the-counter products. The pharmacists here don’t just shuffle meds down the assembly line; they actually engage and answer questions. The integrated pharmacy’s got Pepto-Bismol and chewable papaya enzyme, neosporin and non-toxic cosmetics, BPA-free sippy cups and paraben-free baby shampoo. And if the dog-eat-dog Trader Joe’s parking lot battle has your stomach in a knot? Try probiotics and a nice cold bottle of kombucha.
