The Pharmary Rx
We are a compound pharmacy on a mission. With over fifty years of collective experience offering the highest quality medications, our purpose is to serve our community by helping us live better. We manufacture customized bioidentical hormone and other therapy regimens for women and men navigating midlife specializing in andropause, perimenopause, and menopause as well as thyroid dysfunction and other conditions.

Our pharmacy is based in Oceanside, California and ships all over the state. Our philosophy is simple: offer treatments based on the best available clinical research and elevate the needs of our customers and clinical provider partners. Hormones aren't just about feeling good - they are a critical part of the body's natural defense against chronic disease, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and cognitive decline.
Services
The Pharmary Rx has a pricing rate per quantity and a discounted rate based on a 30, 60, 90 and 120 day supply of BHRT. We have found that this pricing structure benefits the vast majority of our patients, as they have a set monthly price irrespective of the changes that may be needed. Generally, patients start on a formulation of strengths that may begin to produce improvements in their symptoms.
I am so happy to have found them having moved from the desert. The pharmacist was extremely knowledgeable, informative and took the time to explain each medicine. Compound pharmacists are scientists in their own right, unlike large chain pharmacies that obtain their medications from large manufacturers.
We carry numerous medications for men, women, children and pets. Generally speaking we specialize in compounding of BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement / hormone therapy), but we also cover pediatric, topical pain management, dermatological, dental, and veterinary compounds. We also carry multiple sources of high quality vitamins and nutraceuticals.

The pharmacists are extremely rude. They also mark up the prices an exorbitant amount. On top of that, they don't include free shipping. The owner is super greedy. Would not recommend this pharmacy to anyone. Look elsewhere, unless you don't mind being ripped off.

Best pharmacy in North County. Dieter and his team are knowledgeable and caring. High-quality, clean ingredients in the BHRT and thyroid meds. Pricing is competitive, and they'll mail out your Rx's if you want.

I’ve been using this pharmacy for years now. It’s time I write a review on how amazing they are. They are professional, process prescriptions quickly and are very helpful when you call. The pharmacist will take as much time to consult you and answer any questions you might have. Through out the years I’ve had my hormone creams adjusted and they have helped me feel better.

Awesome and unique pharmacy! My doctor recommended The Pharmary for my hormone replacement and dhea because that’s what they specialize in. Spent twenty minutes with the pharmacist asking questions. Can’t tell you how easy and nice they are every time I call. Wish I could get all my medications there but they don’t do conventional meds like Walgreens, oh well. 5 stars for service.

I already posted a review on The Pharmary's website, but here is a Yelp review. This is as much for people considering hormone replacement as it is for this business!

Hormone replacement is "da bomb." When I was going through peri menopause, I had elbow pain. Hormone replacement for four months solved that problem.

Years later, feeling weaker, I wondered if HRT could help. The new OBGYN I had wouldn't even discuss it with me -- so I'm now looking for a different OBGYN.

Luckily, my GP, the fabulous Dr. Perrin J. Curran, was willing to discuss HRT, and wrote me a

My husband and I get our hormones, dhea and thyroid meds here. So appreciative of this pharmacy and their bioidentical hormone formulations. Years ago I was exhausted and depressed - finally after a few tries I found a doctor to help with my hot flashes. The Pharmary fills all my compound scripts I can't take to the usual pharmacies (cvs, etc), texts for refills and mails to my house - couldn't be easier and after a few adjustments I'm feeling much better. Everyone is so nice, knowledgeable and I'm so grateful!

Excellent quality on natural/bio-identical meds. They even have vegan (no gelatin) capsules you can request. Dieter and his team are knowledgeable and caring, with 1:1 consultations available.

This pharmacy tried to hike up the price of my prescription cream and charge me double (over $100). I guess the cream had been lasting me 2 months while it was supposed to last me 1 month but I forget to take it at times and I’m trying to be better about it. I told the pharmacist I have trouble remembering to use it but he should not punish me for it. He didn’t care so I sought out a different compounding pharmacy.
He actually did me a favor. He was already charging me over $50 per refill and wanted to raise it over $100. The new pharmacy said the same amount and dosage only costs $29.99 and

The second bottle of Hormone therapy I received made me feel sick. It gave me heart palpitations and other issues. I was sent a replacement bottle. The replacement bottle was good and everything was fine but it still seemed too strong and made me feel strange so I cut my dose in half and I felt somewhat better.
I called to get my next prescription filled and was denied service and was accused of using the bottle of medication that made me sick.
Dieter Steinmetz is rude and very unprofessional. How rude of him to assume that I used the bottle of medication that made me sick. Why would I use something

I have been getting my testosterone and my wife gets her estrogen and progesterone at The Pharmary. We really appreciate the service. Always friendly and super responsive. Mail delivery every few months. These medications make a big difference in our lives and you can tell the pharmacy specializes in hormones because they are always knowledgeable when we have questions.

The atmosphere in this place is so amazing. It felt like everyone liked working with each other and everyone was knowledgeable and friendly. I left feeling like I was in a scene from It's A Wonderful life (before the bank closes. When things were easy and happy). Anyways, I needed a prescription for my kitten Cove. A different type of antibiotic that required it to be freshly made. They offered 2 flavors of chicken or tuna for Cove. Was pretty stoked about that because she's absolutely not a fan of tuna. Normally pickup is next day, but because they are closed on the weekends I waited

The store was quaint and very welcoming. Compound pharmacists are scientists in their own right, unlike large chain pharmacies that obtain their medications from large manufacturers. This is complex and
each medication is hand made.

Love everything about this little quaint pharmacy.

I needed some pet medication compounded and was recommended to go here. The first person that I talked to was Dieter, the owner. He's great to talk to and is more than happy to whip up whatever drugs you have prescriptions for.

I can only agree with the previous two reviewers. Dieter saved my sanity as well! He worked with me for months to get the formulation just right, and follows up to make sure that I'm still happy with it. The staff is always busy but never makes you feel like you are not the most important customer in the store. Wonderful, quick, accurate service, and yes, shipping to your home is available. Thank you, thank you!
