Sterile Compounding
Our USP-compliant sterile compounding services produce intravenous therapies, ophthalmic preparations, and injectable medications in ISO-classified cleanrooms. We utilize advanced aseptic techniques and rapid endotoxin detection to ensure product sterility while maintaining expedited turnaround times. Each preparation undergoes rigorous third-party potency testing before patient administration.
Hormone Replacement
Custom bio-identical hormone replacement therapy solutions address menopausal symptoms, thyroid imbalances, and sexual health concerns. We formulate precise dosages in multiple delivery formats including transdermal gels, sublingual drops, and sustained-release capsules using pharmaceutical-grade ingredients with documented purity profiles.
Dermatology Compounding
Specialized dermatological formulations treat acne, psoriasis, and skin aging through customized topical preparations. Our compounding capabilities include chemical peels, light-stable hydroquinone formulations, and combination therapies that integrate multiple active ingredients into single-application solutions for enhanced patient compliance.
Pediatric Compounding
We adapt medications for children through flavoring options and alternative dosage forms like lollipops, gummy bases, and flavored suspensions. Our compounding processes remove allergens and create precise dosages appropriate for pediatric patients while maintaining therapeutic efficacy.
Pain Management
Custom pain management formulations combine multiple analgesic agents into single topical or oral preparations. We offer transdermal gels, rectal suppositories, and sustained-release capsules that allow dose customization while minimizing systemic side effects through targeted delivery systems.

I have always been a fan of small, family-owned pharmacies and decided to switch here from a nearby CVS (horrible experience there) and we are so glad we did! Amazing service, friendly staff, beautiful store, answers phone quickly and delivers. Very highly recommend this place over a chain pharmacy in the area anyday!

New Drug Loft is a beautiful new independently owned business. I'm partial to the small pharmacy as opposed to the big three Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid! There's beautiful merchandise here and it's very clean. I needed help with an item and the employee was very nice taking time to show me what they had. We had a nice chat. I know where I will go for gifts and cards. They have a great selection of items that smell so great and lotions too. The Christmas decorations are very cute. If you live in the neighborhood I recommend you visit when you need something. I'll be back when

This is by far the best pharmacy in the area. The pharmacy has been in business for over 60 years. The customer service that you will receive here is second to none. Not only is the staff knowledgeable and polite, they go above and beyond when it comes to providing services to their customers.

I live in the Bronx and I started using New Drug Loft (formally named Drug Loft) pharmacy for over 30 years. I cannot express to you how amazing this pharmacy is. New Drug Loft provide the kind of service you won't get with the huge chain stores. The Pharmacist and staffers are extremely helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. They are very informative on whether you can use a generic brand medicine which is often more budget friendly. They are the kindest and most responsible team.
