We have a couple of options in Dripping Springs. Walgreens and DSP. HEB is coming soon but I don't care much about that.
Dripping Springs Pharmacy is a Good Neighbor pharmacy like People's Pharmacy in Austin. They offer this thing called Compounding. Compounding is the mixing of drugs to fit the unique needs of a patient (human or animal). This may be done for medically necessary reasons, such as to change the form of the medication from a solid pill to a liquid, to avoid a nonessential ingredient due to allergies, or to obtain the exact dose needed. It may also be done for voluntary reasons, such as adding favorite flavors to a medication.
It was done regularly until medication dosages became controlled by the pharmaceutical companies.
That's a very cool feature.
Additionally, this small town has one of the best collections of homeopathic medicine around.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I feel like a person, not a number. I have always gotten exactly what I need. I can order my refills by phone and they even offer a delivery service!
Finally, because of my peculiar illness, I cannot swallow most vitamins. Most of the health-food markets in town (who shall be nameless) have been... ah... completely apathetic in helping me find a vitamin that was smaller. It was like a coffee house experience where the staff neither knew nor cared. At DSP they knew exactly what I needed to do.
I highly recommend using them... unless you just want to be a
