Your neighbors' pharmacy.

Can we make it? Just ask.
Most people arrive with one specific question. Type it below — a medication, a condition, or “my dog won't take his tablets” — and get a straight answer.
Type anything — a drug name, a brand, or “my dog won't take his tablets”. Answers are instant.

Independently inspected and accredited — because you should not have to take a compounding pharmacy's word for it.
Why us
What being the only one in the room buys you.
There are other compounding pharmacies within driving distance. Here is what is genuinely different about this one — for patients comparing us to a chain, and for patients comparing us to another compounder.
Family, and family pets
One pharmacy for every member of the household
Dr. How is a Fellow of the American College of Veterinary Pharmacists as well as a bio-identical hormone specialist. Your hormone cream, your child's flavored suspension and your cat's transdermal gel can be compounded under one roof by one pharmacist. Almost nowhere else can say that.
Nutrition, properly
A pharmacist with a Master's in Nutrition
Not a shelf of supplements and a guess. One-to-one consultations with a pharmacist who studied this, pharmaceutical-grade lines that physicians ask for by name, and allergy testing where it will change the answer.
Independently owned
Nobody above us to answer to
No regional manager, no corporate formulary, no script for how long you are allowed to talk. Every decision made by the person who owns the place and lives in the community it serves.
Retail as well
A full pharmacy, not a compounding boutique
We fill ordinary prescriptions every day, give vaccinations and run flu, strep and HIV tests. You do not need a complicated prescription to become a patient here — you can simply move your everyday ones across.
Why compounding
It starts with a problem the shelf cannot solve.
The child who can't swallow pills. The patient with a gluten allergy. The much-needed drug that is in short supply. For whatever reason, many people aren't served by mass-produced medication.
The right strength
A dose that is right for an adult is often wrong for a child — or for a cat. We compound to the strength your prescriber actually wants.
The right form
A suspension, a cream, a lozenge, a troche, a transdermal gel. If swallowing a tablet is the obstacle, we remove the tablet.
Without the ingredient
Dye-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, casein-free, preservative-free. The active drug stays; the thing you react to goes.
When it's discontinued
Manufacturers discontinue medications for commercial reasons, not clinical ones. We can often still make it.
What we do
Services
From bio-identical hormones to flavored medication for a cat that will not cooperate.
Specialty Compounding
When a commercially manufactured medication does not fit — the wrong dose, the wrong form, the wrong ingredients — we formulate one that does.

Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy
Plant-derived estrogens, progesterone and testosterone compounded in the dosage form and strength each patient actually needs.
Learn more
Pain Management
Compounded preparations for chronic pain, inflammation, neuropathy and injury recovery — in dosage forms patients will actually keep using.
Learn more
Pediatrics & Autism Spectrum Support
Dye-free, gluten-free and casein-free medications and supplements, plus nutritional testing and personalized diets for autism spectrum disorders.

Veterinary Compounding
Flavored liquids, transdermal gels, chews and custom strengths, so that getting medicine into an animal stops being a daily fight.
Learn more
Blister Packaging
Your daily medications sealed into a dated, disposable weekly blister — so you can see at a glance what you've taken.
Learn more
Mail Order
We mail prescriptions anywhere in Texas, so being far from Magnolia does not stop us being your pharmacy.
Learn more
Nutrition & Supplements
One-on-one nutritional consultations with Dr. How, plus a curated range of pharmaceutical-grade supplements.
Learn moreSame drug, different shape
Half of compounding is changing the shape of the problem.
When someone cannot take a medication, the obstacle is usually the tablet rather than the drug. These are the forms we most often move a prescription into.
Capsule
Any strength, and free of whichever filler you react to.
Flavored liquid
The usual answer for children and animals who refuse a tablet.
Cream or gel
Acts at the site, and bypasses the stomach and liver.
Troche or lozenge
Dissolves in the mouth — absorbed without swallowing.
Transdermal gel
Rubbed inside a cat's ear. Painless, tasteless, no fight.
Suppository
For patients who cannot keep anything down.
Lollipop
Yes, really — the dose put into something a child will accept.
Sterile injection
Prepared in our USP <797> sterile lab.
Since the beginning
One road, one owner.
Not a chain that arrived, and not a start-up. A pharmacy that has been part of Magnolia long enough to have filled prescriptions for three generations of some families.
A compounding pharmacy opens on FM 1488
Dr. Sandra How opens Triumph Pharmacy in a small unit at 6875 FM 1488, betting that a corner of Magnolia would rather have a pharmacist who knows them than a queue.
What compounding meansMaking a medication to order for one specific patient, instead of dispensing a mass-produced product off a shelf. It lets the pharmacist change the strength, change the form — a cream, a liquid, a lozenge instead of a tablet — or leave out an ingredient you react to, while keeping the active drug your prescriber asked for.Compounding becomes the practice, not a sideline
Bio-identical hormones, pain creams, pediatric suspensions, veterinary formulations. Word travels between physicians faster than any advertising.
The four kinds of preparation named hereBio-identical hormones are compounded to match the chemical structure of hormones the body already makes. Pain creams put medication onto the skin over the sore area rather than sending it through the whole body. Pediatric suspensions turn a tablet into a measured liquid a child will actually swallow. Veterinary formulations size the dose to the animal and flavor it so it goes down.PCAB accreditation earned
A full documentation review followed by an on-site inspection led by compounding experts. At the time, only a small number of pharmacies in the United States met the standard.
What PCAB accreditation isPCAB is the compounding accreditation program run by ACHC, the Accreditation Commission for Health Care. It is not required by law — a pharmacy chooses to be assessed. It measures a pharmacy's processes against the USP compounding standards, through a documentation review followed by an on-site survey. The FDA and the state Board of Pharmacy regulate every pharmacy regardless; accreditation is a further, independent check.A sterile lab, built to USP <797>
Sterile injectables, IV preparations and ophthalmics, prepared in a dedicated clean-air environment with ingredient handling separated under positive pressure.
What USP <797> isThe United States Pharmacopeia's standard for compounding sterile preparations — injectables, IV preparations, eye drops. It sets requirements for who may compound and how they are trained, the design and air quality of the room, ongoing environmental monitoring, and how finished preparations are stored and tested. The purpose is to reduce the risk of contamination, infection and incorrect dosing.The move to 7030 FM 1488, Suite 110
Further down the same road — across from Shell Rapid Lube, next to the FM 1488 Animal Center. Bigger, but deliberately still one location.
Same road, bigger unitFrom 6875 to 7030 FM 1488 — far enough for the space a sterile lab needs, close enough that nobody had to learn a new route. Deliberately still one pharmacy rather than a second branch.Adherence packaging arrives
Multimed blister packs: every dose sealed by day and time, checked three times before it leaves. Quietly one of the most useful things we do for families.
What blister packing isInstead of a row of orange bottles, every dose is sealed into its own bubble on a card, labeled by day and by time of day. You can see at a glance whether Tuesday morning has been taken. It is aimed at anyone managing several medications at once, and at families keeping track for someone else.Nutrition joins the counter
Dr. How completes a Master's in Nutrition, and one-to-one consultations and pharmaceutical-grade supplement lines become part of the practice.
Why a pharmacist with a nutrition degreeSupplements interact with prescription medication, and dose and form matter much as they do with a drug. A pharmacist who has also studied nutrition can look at both halves together, rather than treating the supplement shelf as something separate from the prescription counter.Same road, same owner
Still independently owned. Still one pharmacy. Still the same person likely to answer your question in the aisle.
What independent ownership changesNo regional manager, no corporate formulary, and no script for how long you are allowed to talk. The decisions get made by the person who owns the place and lives in the community it serves.
