About Central Drug

At Central Drug, expect something unique. We aren’t your average “drugstore,” we offer you a collaborative, science -based approach to medicine that focuses on the individual and optimal health. From compounding, probiotics, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), we take a unique, patient ­focused approach that helps us meet the gold standard of success: helping you get better.


We specialize in sterile and non-sterile compounding, as a PCAB (Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board) accredited pharmacy, but we are also a full-line pharmacy with a focus on wellness and functional medicine. Anything we discuss is completely confidential, so don’t hesitate to consult with our pharmacists or nurse practitioner.

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.
