Services
Pediatric Compounding
Custom-formulated medications for children address taste aversion and administration challenges. We modify dosage forms, add flavors like bubblegum and watermelon, and adjust strengths to meet specific pediatric needs. This service helps parents ensure proper medication adherence for infants and young children.
Veterinary Compounding
Tailored pharmaceutical solutions for animals combine medical expertise with pet-friendly formulations. We create flavored medications in various dosage forms to treat dogs, cats, and exotic pets, working closely with veterinarians to address specific health conditions that commercial products cannot resolve.
Dermatology Compounding
Custom topical medications include ointments, gels, and creams formulated for specific skin conditions. Our pharmacists adjust active ingredients and delivery methods to enhance absorption and effectiveness for dermatological treatments that commercial products cannot provide.
Medication Delivery
Complimentary home delivery service ensures timely medication access across NYC. We offer urgent delivery options through third-party services and maintain regular delivery schedules for ongoing prescriptions, including emergency medication availability during adverse weather conditions.
Custom Flavoring
Over 20 flavor options transform unpleasant-tasting medications into palatable treatments. Our flavoring system accommodates individual preferences while maintaining medication stability, particularly beneficial for pediatric patients requiring long-term treatment regimens.

I have been going to Cherry's for about 15 years. It's nice to have a 'hometown feel' rather than going to a large chain. If you haven't been there, give it a try, you'll see what I'm talking about.

As a mom and a doctor, I highly recommend this pharmacy. My preschooler had the flu and had trouble taking Tamiflu. We lost a dose because he spit it up. I called Cherrys when I realized we were going to run out before he had finished the course, and they sent me the amount I needed free of charge, in the middle of a snowstorm! Everyone there is incredibly kind and knowledgeable.

My daughter was staying at the Ronald McDonald house and needed a class three painkiller I walked 80 blocked with my son in a stroller to every big chain pharmacy that didn't have the pain killer in stock and they wouldn't/couldn't call each other to help me. Finally I found Cherry's just around the corner from RMH and they where very professional and friendly, I was able to let my son play with the trains for about 10 min while they filled my prescription. thanks to Cherry's I was able to get back to my daughter before the meds from the hospital wore off, preventing unnecessary pain for her.
