Irsfeld Pharmacy has been a Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA) member since 1998 and has incorporated nutrition into the practice in 2005. at a time when we began receiving more questions on how supplements interact with prescription medications. The pharmacy is a hybrid pharmacy with a focus on compounded medication including hormone replacement, pain management, and low dose naltrexone.
The pharmacy goal is to help as may patients as possible. By having tools such as compounding and nutrition as well as having relationships with alternative medicine practitioners, they are able to help our patients seek wellness with non-traditional methods. “It has been a joy to hear patients come in and tell us that we have greatly improved their quality of life. That is the big reason I come to work each and every day”, Steve said.
