Compounding in Boaz, AL

Parkway Pharmacy East is a short drive up Hwy 431 in Arab, and our on-site compounding lab handles BHRT, pediatric suspensions, topical pain creams, dermatology bases, and veterinary medications. Most compounds are ready inside 24 hours.

How it works

Your prescriber sends the compounding prescription to Parkway Pharmacy East (or you bring it). We confirm any details directly with the prescriber if needed, calculate the formulation, and prepare it in our on-site lab. Some compounds may be ready on the same day, others may take a few days if special ingredients are needed. We will notify you when your prescription is ready by call or text.
