Provided by YP.comI was trying to fill a prescription for my son I went to all the BIG pharmacies and a few of the little ones too no one had his medicine. Out of all the BIG pharmacies not one even offered to order my son's medication. I went to Lloyd's hoping for a long shot they would have it, they didn't but offered to order it and had it there within 2-3 days my loyalty is with them all the way!

Provided by YP.comI use Lloyd’s when I need a compounding pharmacists. Over the past year, I’ve had a couple of prescriptions made by them. There were no problems…until today. Back inJuly, I got an ointment mixed by them. It was fine, but I made the mistake of not keeping it cold for a couple of days and it turned brown and the solids separated from the liquids in the mixture. I returned to Lloyd’s and explained that I had improperly stored it and if they could remake it for me at my full cost. They agreed and I picked on the new mixture it was brown when I got it home and opened it. I, again, returned to Lloyd’s to return the whole prescription. My thinking was that either the pharmacist does not know how to make it or that combination of drugs just doesn’t belong together—it not a feasible prescription to start. I wanted to get my money back for the second bottle as I was going to ask my doctor to prescribe a totally medication that is different from the current one.
That’s when things turned bad. The pharmacist, in so many words, accused me of trying to cheat them out of medication. When I told him I just picked up the new bottle only to find that it was brown, I needed to return it. He took the bottle that I brought in. the contents were grainy and the liquid had separated. It was a full bottle. He then returns with he claimed was the one I just brought in. It wasn’t. It was dated 7/08/2015—the first mixture. The consistency was creamy and half of the medication was gone. The pharmacist starting asking me what happened to the rest of it. Being that I used a lot from the first bottle and that bottle he was questioning me on was half gone and dated 7/08, I think he switched the bottles since I picked up the one I returned was dated 08/20/2015 and it was a different consistency, full, and cold.
In the end, I felt forced to get him to make another mixture of the medication. I do not think he knows how to do it and so what I really wanted was to get a refund for the second bottle and like I said, discuss with my doctor, an alternative medicine. In sum, the pharmacist accused me of trying to steal and I think that is the most offensive part of the whole situation.
My earlier experiences with Lloyd’s were wonderful, but something changed. I will not return there and despite the fact that I recommended them to friends, I will not do so any longer. Mom-and-Pop shops are great for the community, but the downside is that they can treat you any way they please and there is nowhere to complain or fight back. I’m sticking with chain stores. They are more trustworthy.

I have been using Lloyds for over 50 years and is a great neighbor business. How many business can you go into and the owner knows you by name, not often anymore.
