Our key fundamentals are personal service blended with competitive pricing and our team takes pride in providing the best customer service possible. Our pharmacy began as a member of The Medicine Shoppe franchise system, where we remained for 30 years. As the pharmacy’s focus evolved to a full service "compounding pharmacy" we also transitioned into an independent pharmacy as a part of the United Drug Co-Op. We are members of PCCA (Pharmacy Compounding Centers of America) and IACP (International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists) which enables us to provide excellent compounding service to our customers. In our compounding lab we have specialized equipment to allow us to properly prepare prescription orders. Our pharmacists Andy Campbell, PharmD, Stefanie Krueger, RPh, and Carolyn Shelton, RPh, BS Pharm, have received specialized training in the science and art of pharmaceutical compounding. Our pharmacists regularly attend seminars related to our compounding practice to constantly expand our knowledge which allows us to provide effective and elegant products to meet our customers needs. We are open Monday through Friday 9:30am-6:00pm and Saturday 9am-noon. We help solve medication related problems; stop in and see what we can do for you today!

Compounding myths vs facts:

Myth: Children with autism have to use medications exactly as manufactured.

Fact: Compounding can adjust strengths, remove certain ingredients, or create alternative dosage forms when appropriate.

Why this matters: Small formulation changes can make a big difference in whether a child can comfortably take a medication.

Autism prevalence has risen dramatically from 1 in 150 children in 2000 to 1 in 36 in 2023. This is why here at The Medicine Chest Pharmacy we customize each medication specifically for that patient to ensure the best possible outcomes occur.

Berberine vs. Metformin — what’s the difference?

Metformin is a prescription medication and remains first-line therapy for Type 2 diabetes.

Berberine is a plant-based compound that may support:
• Healthy blood sugar
• Insulin sensitivity
• Metabolic function

For some patients with insulin resistance or prediabetes, berberine can be a helpful adjunct — when properly dosed and monitored.

That’s why we carry Berberine Advantage at The Medicine Chest Pharmacy:

✔ Clinically dosed
✔ Professionally sourced
✔ Third-party tested
✔ Reviewed by a pharmacist before it goes home with you

Stop in or message us to see what fits your labs and goals.

Evidence-based. Pharmacist-guided.

Compounding myths vs facts:

Myth: Compounding is only for rare conditions

Fact: It's used for pediatrics, hormone replacement therapy, autoimmune conditions, veterinary, autism, and more

Why this Matters: Believing compounding is only for rare conditions can prevent patients and families from exploring personalized options that may better meet everyday needs.

This is why here at The Medicine Chest Pharmacy we dive deeper and ask questions to find out more about you and your needs so that we can provide the best possible solution to meet your goals.

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body—but choosing the right form matters.

Here’s a quick breakdown 👇

🧠 Magnesium Threonate
• Brain & cognitive support
• Memory, focus, mental clarity

😴 Magnesium Glycinate
• Calm & relaxation
• Sleep support
• Gentle on the stomach

💪 Magnesium Malate
• Muscle function & recovery
• Energy production
• Great for fatigue

🚽 Magnesium Citrate
• Digestive support
• Occasional constipation
• More laxative effect

❤️ Magnesium Taurate
• Cardiovascular support
• Nervous system balance

That’s why “just taking magnesium” isn’t enough—the form should match the goal.

If you’re not sure which type is right for you, our pharmacists can help guide you.

Most people think berberine is just for blood sugar—but that’s only part of the story.

Berberine has been shown to support:
✔ Healthy glucose metabolism
✔ Weight management
✔ Cardiovascular health
✔ Gut balance

It works by helping your body use insulin more efficiently—making it a powerful option for metabolic support when used correctly.

As always, dosing and quality matter.
Our pharmacist-selected berberine is chosen for purity, absorption, and consistency.
