Compounding is the disappearing art of preparing medicines from raw ingredients. Prior to 1950, compounding was considered state-of-the-art and constituted the primary function of pharmacists. Since that time a combination of factors has removed this activity from every day function of most pharmacists. When starting Cape Drugs in 1974, our goal was to provide the best possible pharmacy services to all our customers. What began as a neighborhood pharmacy has grown into an organization that serves people across the U.S. Our staff provides individual, confidential, professional services dedicated to improve the patient’s quality of life. We are proud to provide a training facility to Pharmacy students and graduates from area Pharmacy schools. It is an opportunity to nurture students in an area of pharmacy that is constantly growing and changing. At times, it may take our unique compounding procedures to modify dosages and medication delivery systems to best suit the patient’s special needs. My personal desire is that all the team members at Cape Drugs play an important role in the delivery of health care to you. This includes many varied and unique services, such as specialized compounding of medications, intravenous and intramuscular medications, medical counseling and medication information, long term care consultations, home compliance products, delivery service, and many other benefits and services. If you wish to discuss our services or any special need you have, please write, fax, E-mail or phone me, Renee McCarthy, at info@capedrugs.com
