New pharmacy open

Martins Compounding & Wellness Pharmacies, owned by local Lakeway residents, Jim and Dorinda Martin opened Lake Hills Pharmacy at 12005 Bee Cave Rd, Suite 1-A in the Uplands Village Center on Monday, January 27, 2014.

 

 “We are so pleased to open Lake Hills Pharmacy in the neighbor we have lived for the past 12 years and be able to serve the citizens of Lakeway, Bee Cave and surrounding areas.”, said Jim Martin, Pharmacist / Owner.  The Martins Group of pharmacies has two other independent pharmacies in the Austin area: Dripping Springs Pharmacy in Dripping Springs and Lamar Plaza Drug Store on South Lamar Blvd.


All three of the pharmacies are neighbor pharmacies that specialize in Wellness and Compounding.  They carry a complete line of high quality wellness supplements and have Wellness Consultants on staff to answer any questions on anything to do with wellness and preventive care.  Compounding is customizing medications specifically for individual patients per a physician’s order and requires special training and compounding labs located within the pharmacy. 

 

Medications are compounded that are not commercially available such as individualized hormone replacement therapies, pain management transdermal, and medications where a patient might be allergic to a preservative or binder in a product.  Pet medications are also compounded per a veterinarian’s order.  Martins compounding pharmacies are also accredited by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board.
