Welcome to Capstone Compounding Pharmacy located in Wyomissing, PA! Formerly known as the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy of Reading, we are a family owned retail pharmacy specializing in non-sterile compounding that has been serving the Reading area since 1982. Please visit our “About Us” page for a more detailed account of our pharmacy’s history.
Compounding is our pride and joy. We consider it to be the pinnacle, or “capstone”, of retail pharmacy practice. It’s a niche that traces back to pharmacy’s origins, before big drug companies began mass-producing drugs in limited doses or dosage forms. But medicine isn’t “one size fits all”. For a wide variety of reasons, a patient may require a version of treatment not offered by big drug companies. As a compounding pharmacy, we open the door to a nearly unlimited array of treatment options. This could include offering existing medications in unique doses, dosage forms, versions, or combinations; or medications that are no longer on the market but are still needed by some patient populations. In short, compounding can serve essentially any area of medical practice. Whenever a customized preparation is needed or desired, we can help. Nothing makes us happier than knowing we were able to help a patient (human or animal) on the most personal level possible-by creating a customized version of treatment tailored to their unique needs.
Our specialties include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), veterinary compounding, dermatology, pain relief, pediatric preparations, and so much more.
