Tradition
We’re no strangers to tradition; Central Drug was founded in the early 1950s as a pharmacy, gift shop and soda fountain. Our focus on the pharmacist-patient-provider relationship as well as superior customer service has given us the privilege of serving our community and surrounding area just a few blocks from Central Drug’s original location. While we specialize in compounding; let us emphasize that we are a full-line pharmacy. We provide timely service to both our “walk-in patients” as well as expedite mail-order service for patients throughout Texas.
