Wauconda Pharmacy

Compounding Specialists - Human & Veterinarian

About us: Our mission is to meet the pharmaceutical needs of our patients (human & animal) with the highest quality of customized medication available. We value our patients as being more important than ourselves, seeking to serve them the same way Jesus Christ served during his earthly ministry. We look to Him as our example as how we should serve others.

Wauconda Pharmacy has been a local family-owned business for over 100 years. Charles F. Buschick purchased the pharmacy from Charlie Haller in the 1930s and then sold it to Bill Lacey in the 1950s. Lacey owned it until the 1970s when he sold it to Ed Bruner. After 30 years, his son, Terry, took over the business and still owns it today. The pharmacy has gone back to working as a more traditional pharmacy by compounding prescriptions (using custom drug formulations to better meet a patient’s needs). In 2005, Wauconda Pharmacy built a state-of-the-art compounding lab and added a U.S.P. 800 compliant lab in 2020.

What is Compounding?: Throughout history, people have made compounds, or custom-blended medications: the Bible even makes mention of medicinal ointments dispensed by a physician. These days, most prescriptions that people take are a “one size fits all” solution. The problem with this is that what works for one person won’t work for all; individuals have their own medical needs. We work to meet the needs of each patient. Discontinued combinations of drugs through a traditional prescription can now be made again. These customized compounds allow us to better serve patients. Even better, many medications can be combined into one treatment: creams, capsules, and more.

Our Services: If you need a refill of your routine medication, a special medicine that is not available from the manufacturer or a variety of other services, we can help! Our team of registered pharmacists and certified technicians are here to serve you.​We are committed to giving you the best quality of care at a fair price.
