Services
Compounding Pharmacy
Our compounding pharmacy creates tailored medications that meet specific patient requirements not fulfilled by commercial products. We work directly with prescribers to formulate capsules, creams, suspensions, and suppositories with precise dosages, delivery methods, and flavorings. This service addresses needs across human and veterinary medicine, offering solutions for hormone therapy, pain management, and specialized pediatric formulations.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
We specialize in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for both men and women. Our compounded formulations replicate the molecular structure of natural human hormones, enabling proper metabolic processing. This approach supports balanced hormone levels while minimizing potential side effects commonly associated with synthetic alternatives, providing effective solutions for managing menopause, andropause, and endocrine disorders.
Topical Pain Management
Our compounded topical pain gels offer an alternative to oral medications for inflammation, nerve pain, and muscle spasms. By delivering medication directly to affected areas, these formulations reduce systemic side effects like stomach irritation and drowsiness. We create customized combinations of analgesic agents tailored to individual pain management requirements, enhancing patient comfort and treatment efficacy.
Veterinary Compounding
We provide customized medication solutions for animals, addressing species-specific needs across dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, and exotic pets. Our veterinary compounding accommodates weight-based dosing requirements unavailable in commercial products, offering flavored formulations that improve palatability and ensure accurate administration for better treatment compliance and animal health outcomes.
Pharmaceutical Supplements
We offer high-quality professional line supplements from reputable brands including Metagenics, Pure Encapsulations, and Xymogen. Available for in-store pickup or direct shipment through our Fullscript online dispensary, these products meet strict quality standards for purity and potency, supporting patient wellness with reliable nutritional support options.

I can't say enough good things about Janet and her team: They communicate closely with me and my practitioners, compound formulations quickly (!) and effectively, and always greet me with enthusiasm and care. These are people that care about what they do and they back up their knowledge with outstanding customer service.

I got a prescription from my vet for my cat Cassie, and it was a liquid that she refused to allow me to give her. I went in to see Janet and she fixed us up with double tuna, maybe even triple tuna, and that did the trick. Janet has helped with many other things since that time, and I value her experience, knowledge, and friendship.

Amazing Customer Service! Truly Above & Beyond! I flew from MA to CO and needed a prescription filled that I could only get through a compounding pharmacy. The compounding pharmacy in Denver said it would take five days to fill it after they told me it would take two days. I gave up on them when they said they couldnt even guarantee five days. The medication is crucial for my daily health - I couldnt wait five days. I called Prescription Alternatives and spoke with the owner, Janet Carter, about my situation. She was brilliant! Not only did she fill the prescription THAT day, she had it delivered

This is a great little independent, locally owned and run small business who care about their customers and community. I definitely choose to go here over the big corporate chain pharmacies for good advice and service.
