Services
Pharmacy Compounding
We create customized medications tailored to specific patient needs, including preservative-free, alcohol-free, and sugar-free formulations. Our compounding services address unique requirements for hormone replacement therapy, pain management, and veterinary applications. Our pharmacists work directly with physicians to develop specialized treatment solutions that commercial medications cannot provide.
Home Delivery
We offer free local delivery within a 5-mile radius of our Lafayette location during regular business hours. Our delivery service accommodates both prescription medications and over-the-counter items, providing convenient access to essential medications for patients with mobility challenges or busy schedules.
Medication Synchronization
Our medication synchronization program coordinates all prescription refills to a single monthly pickup day. This service improves medication adherence by simplifying complex medication regimens, reducing pharmacy visits, and ensuring patients maintain proper medication supplies through organized scheduling.
Long Term Care Services
We provide comprehensive pharmaceutical services to long-term care facilities including medication management, consultant pharmacy services, and emergency medication delivery. Our program ensures continuous pharmacist availability and timely access to critical medications for nursing home residents and other long-term care patients.
Pet Care Services
Our pet care services include specialized compounding for animals, prescription medications, and veterinary supplies. We create customized formulations for exotic pets, horses, dogs, and cats, offering flavored chews and patient-specific dosages that improve medication administration for pet owners and veterinarians.

Have been using this pharmacy for several years now.. when I walk in I am treated like a guest & not just another number in the system. After continuous use they have made it a point to remember my name. I have had several terrible experiences with big name pharmacies & had tried several other places before ending up here. When anyone ask for a recommendation on a pharmacy I ALWAYS refer here without a second thought. Regardless of how far I drive now, after moving, I still refuse to go elsewhere. I can promise anyone that you will never regret choosing to go here.

Always have what I need, and curbside pick up option is great, but their customer service could be better. Ive called to refill three times now and the girls on the phone have always sounded really irritated and give one word responses, like Im bothering them by calling. It makes me feel really uncomfortable. The first time I filled a script with them they forgot three of my four medications and I had to go back and again feel like I was bothering them by asking for my stuff.

Best pharmacy in Lafayette. Give them your script and 5 minutes later you have your prescriptions. Try that at CVS or Walgreens.

I have been using Acadiana Prescription for over 15 years. They specialize in specialty medication in inventory, which you cannot get from other pharmacies. They have to order the specialty medication and takes approximately a week to get. Joel and his staff are outstanding at their jobs and I commend them. Go by and try Acadiana Prescription Shop and you will not be disappointed

I have never seen a place you can walk in and right out with your prescription in hand. Never a long line and if the kids are sick I can honk my horn and they come right out to your vehicle and bring you your script. Awesome service and always smiling. I have had several friends switch over and love it!!! I recommend this Prescription Shop to everyone. Thank you for all you kind friendly people do!
