The Medicine Shoppe

I have to give a good review.
My cat requires Prozac. We don’t know if he was neglected before we adopted him, or if he’s traumatized from the shelter, or if he’s just chemically imbalanced because he was born on the mean streets of Pleasanton to a stray single mom. What we do know is that he’s a weirdo.
Our vet recommended Prozac. We started with 10mg tablets from cvs. But he only needs 2.5mg at a time. Breaking a 10mg tablet into quarters proved nearly impossible and his dosing was off. The vet recommended a compounding pharmacy so we could get it in a liquid. But the one they recommended would charge nearly $ 100 a refill. So I did my own research and found Medicine Shoppe. The lady I spoke to was super kind and even sounded sympathetic to our weird cat taking Prozac. She said they could do it. The vet sent the RX over and I picked it up later. My total, $ 25. She even added tuna flavor to the compound and told me to come back if we wanted more tuna flavor.
We are grateful to have found this place. And Oliver says thank you for the tuna flavored medicine we spray into his mouth every other night.
Thanks guys!

FYI, the State Attorneys Office has just received from the State Pharmacy Board, a 15 count indictment against the head pharmacist at the Medicine Shoppe Priti Chatwani, to have her pharmacy license revoked or suspended for dispensing dangerous amounts of a compounded medicine, inaccurate record keeping, giving false testimony and removing/​destroying relevant records pertaining to the dispensing of medicine in this case. You can read this indictment (Case number 4574) on– line by going to the State Pharmacy Board and typing in the Medicine Shoppe — Livermore. It should also be of interest that this indictment also discusses a prior incident in 2010 where the Medicine Shoppe was issued a citation for a similar incident.
UPDATE:
As of 7÷23÷1015 the State Attorney’s Office (Kamala Harris) has REVOKED the license of the Medicine Shoppe. They have also been placed on a 4 year probation status. The owner/​pharmacist have agreed that they were negligible and did not protest the findings of the investigation. In addition, they had to pay a $ 18,000 fee to the State Pharmacy Board.
SO BEWARE when conducting business and ordering medicine from this place.

Such an amazing pharmacy!

They are really nice and friendly, someone is always available to help no matter what the issue is and there isn’t long wait times for questions and dropping prescriptions like the more common pharmacies. Mom and Pops pharmacies are awesome not corporate like the rest! My mom has been having her medicines delivered yes I said DELIVERED to her home now for years major major props good job guys.

Love this pharmacy! I love the home town feel to it. Every employee there has treated me with respect and has been a pleasure. They always have my medication ready on time and will even fill new prescriptions within minutes of drop off. It also feels great to support a local business!

It really can’t get any better than this, This pharmacy has treated me very well as soon as I have walked through the door, Im a simple guy and have been through a lot so dealing with medical issues and medication is a sensitive issue, lucky for me medicine shoppe is always there, they have taken care of my insurance issues and worked in conjunction with my doctor to help me get meds covered, they are quick and efficient, patient, cordial and Priti gets things done. What else is there to say? this is great compound pharmacy, I’m glad I met them.

Give them some love, people. They’re awesome.
