Peoples Rx
What causes this torture? Could it be a lack of vital nutrients? More importantly, what can we do to immediately stop the cramping and prevent it from ever happening again? Find out the best solutions! I love that I can walk into Peoples and get intelligent, well-informed advice about my nutritional/supplemental needs without any added costs!

The staff here is excellent. Other than the fact that I already love the pharmacy, the gluten-free sandwiches bring me back. Meat, veggies, chicken salad, egg salad, I want it all on gluten-free bread!. Within 7 minutes of entry, I had told my tale of physical woe to one pharmacist, one nutritionist and a vitamin specialist.

It's a prescription and over the counter medication outlet. I'd attended a friend giving support while having a rough go.

I dont normally write reviews, but I just switched from a nearby CVS to this pharmacy and I'm so glad I did. I was helped by a pharmacist named Chris and he was very patient and kind with me the entire process. Helped me figure out what was happening with my prescription and everything.

I have allergies to the inactive ingredients in nearly all medications. Peoples has my allergies on file and coordinates with my doctor to make sure ever medication I need is safe for me. If my doctor prescribes something that isn't safe, or able to be compounded safely, for me Peoples works with my doctor to find something that will work. I'm so grateful for their attention to detail! I hope to keep them as my compounding pharmacy for life

I went for supplements but needed advisement to get the right one since my PA did not specify - asked the pharmacist for help as I wanted pharmacist advisement. The pharmacist walked me to the part of the store and point the appropriate options. That was good. But then she handed me off to floor personnel- and that experience was not good. In the past, the floor personnel was very good. This time the contact spoke in vague terms, I would ask questions and explain the dosing the doctors office gave me - and the staff person shows the dosing options which were different. I asked more clarifying questions

I’ve been suffering for months now with chronic bladder infections. Nothing was working. I kept getting more fatigued, and feeling really lethargic. Friday morning I woke up feeling the worst.
I decided to go to People’s Pharmacy on 183. I met with a wonderful lady named Dawn, and people, she hooked me up!
I started feeling better that afternoon! No lie! Yesterday my energy stated to come back! I was feeling happy and slept well last night.
Just 3 holistic products and BAM! She did give me a list of foods to NOT eat for the next 2 weeks as well.
I will now always go to People’s Pharmacy

All ingredients in the cold pressed juices and nut mylks, tortillas and coffee are organic. Many ingredients are local and could be organically grown just not certified. I purchased a Cashew Cacao Mylk from the Grab & Go section and ordered the Reveler Breakfast Taco in a bowl. The Mylk which was smooth and creamy in a portion size that is larger than most, was chugged within minutes. Actually grabbed another chocolaty delight before I left town, so good! The Taco was delish and I was sorry I didn't order the larger size. The warm medley of Scrambled Eggs, Potato Cubes, Cheese, and Bacon

I get my prescription medicines here. The customer service at the pharmacy desk is better than most places. They always greet me right away. I don't have to stand there awkwardly for 5 minutes until someone notices me. And if one customer is being helped and another is in line, the pharmacists actually come out from behind the counter to ask the person who's waiting for help. Wow! Plus the pharmacists check on possible drug interactions and counsel you about this. At other places, I'm used to having to wait for the pharmacist after I've already paid, and then they just read

I love this place. I can get my prescriptions compounded, pick up a Bulletproof coffee and some healthy Twinkie's. Who am I kidding. I also get the flourless chocolate cake and some chocolate covered strawberries.

Peoples is an Austin staple. You go in and think you're gonna get your bioidentical hormones and you leave with a salad for your lunch and some hair vitamins.

It's basically a snack fest up in there, but they're semi-healthy so you have no eaters' remorse. Everyone that works there is super nice and seems happy to be there. Open one in dripping springs please

It's convenient but expensive. They also sell out of breakfast tacos really fast so get there early if you want any! I like their soups. I've never actually used them for medicine but they have a good selection of healthy foods to accommodate people with dietary restrictions, such as gluten and dairy free foods.

Located by the Westlake High School this is a gem hidden and not only is it a pharmacy it is a smoothie bar dessert bar and grocery deli store all combined. I was truly impressed was the fact that the pharmacist explained how my canine meds was to be used and demonstrated the the refrigerated type of meds my dog had to use by a strange type of syringe thank goodness she showed me what to do. The smoothie I ordered was a detox and full of delicious flavor, I loved it and will come just to have another smoothie. This is more of a whole foods type of environment everything here is nutritious and organic

It's convenient if you work or go to school right by there but it's overpriced. Also, the tacos are not always clearly labeled so it's hard to know which one you're picking up. But the food is pretty good and everyone who works there is fairly nice.

3.5 stars. 3 for the sandwich and .5 for the friendly people in the pharmacy part. Stopped to get a quick bite to eat on my way to Enchanted Rock and had the Italian sandwich. I would have expected with extra healthy type meats and bread, etc it would taste better. This was decent but not good. More like a Subway sandwich and less like a specialty Italian sub I was expecting. Jersey Mikes is easily better and even Thundercloud. It will work in a pinch but not something you search out. That said, the people here seem very friendly and they did have some unique items while I was perusing

I cannot say enough good things about People's Pharmacy Westlake and specifically health and wellness practitioner Kaya Depuis. Little did I know 12 months ago when I went in to buy a vitamin that Kaya would be the primary lead in helping our family unravel the mystery of chronic ear infections and health issues for our 5 year old son.

Two high end Austin recommended MDs ended up wasting both our time and money. The solution ended up not requiring pharmaceuticals, but resided in healing the lining of the stomach, specific digestive enzymes and probiotics for my son's genes, and a

Such a bad experience this morning. I should have driven to my usual People's store on N. Lamar. Literally walking around hunting for product for 10 min, shopping bag on shoulder, and not an employee approached me. Didn't have products they gave at Lamar so now I have to make a second trip yo Lamar. When I got to a register, an employee was in his phone and completely uninterested in
ringing my products up. Went to another register and was not greeted, no warmth. Only nice welcoming person here is Katherine and age was too little, too late. Why am I paying these prices to be treated

My experience with Peoples Rx was picking up two specialty compounded medications for my cat who was suffering from hyperthyroidism. She was impossible to pill, so the vet had Peoples Rx compound the medication into a cream that could be rubbed into the inner ear and absorbed through the skin.

The pharmacist who helped me did a great job of explaining exactly how to administer the medication. I had another compounding pharmacy make the same medication prior to Peoples Rx, but they gave me zero instructions on how to use it. Peoples Rx took the time to make sure I understood exactly how to

Boy, Did I love Peoples Rx! This is the most unexpected sandwich shop in the world! It's an amazing sandwich shop, inside a pharmacy store! Along with sandwiches you have pre-made salads, soups, fruit, etc. etc.
They are a little expensive, but honestly, their ingredients are so fresh and tasty, its probably worth it.
So if you want to be surprised, go here and get yourself a sandwich!

I adore People's and find myself in here almost every single day for a smoothie, breakfast taco, sandwich or some random natural medicinal cure.

They have some of the best soup in town, I love their chicken vegetable and beef chili. People's makes it a priority to use the highest quality ingredients, so I never feel guilty and I actually really enjoy the food.

If you are gluten free, you will love this store. They have GF options for everything and have a wider selection of premade goods than most large grocery stores.

This is the Mothership location of Peoples Pharmacy in Austin, deep in the heart of Westlake. Predictably, they have more of everything that makes Peoples special: high quality supplements, compounded and standard prescriptions, experts on staff for consultation. Their lead pharmacist, Beth Shirley, is a wonderful resource, and so are their nutritionists.

They will make appointments for consultations and can recommend a plan of action for health and wellness, and can give you tips on where to find a holistic healthcare provider in Austin. They also conduct useful seminars on a variety of
