Our story

What we do.

TFC Pharmacy & Compounding is an independent, family-owned pharmacy on Slauson Avenue in South Los Angeles. We run three service lines from a single shop: specialty compounding, long-term-care pharmacy, and full-service community pharmacy.

Our compounding program is PCAB-accredited through the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC). Our long-term-care pharmacy program is separately ACHC LTC-accredited. Our compounding lab operates under USP <795> non-sterile, <797> sterile, and <800> hazardous-drug standards, with a dedicated hazardous-drug clean-room and independent third-party compound testing.

Most of our patients live within a few zip codes of the shop. Many have been with us for years. We pick up the phone when you call, and we know what your medication is for — in English, Spanish, Armenian, or Russian, depending on what works for you.

We accept Medi-Cal, Medicare Part D, and most major commercial insurance. We're in-network for the plans most of our neighborhood is on; if we're not in-network for yours, we'll tell you before you fill.

Compounded medications are prepared from individual prescriptions and are not FDA-approved drug products.

How we work

Three principles.

i.

We pick up the phone.

One pharmacist answering, not an IVR. If they can't talk now, they'll call you back when they're available. This sounds simple. It is the hardest single thing about running a pharmacy at scale.

ii.

The medication is not the work.

The medication is the easy part. The hard part is making sure the patient takes it correctly, can afford it, doesn't have an interaction, and understands what it's for. That's the work we do.

iii.

If we can't, we'll say so.

Some compounds we won't make. Some prescriptions we'll refuse to fill. Some patients we'll refer elsewhere. The point of being a pharmacist is having the judgment to say no — and we use it.

Our team

A multilingual team, led by a clinical pharmacist.

Our team speaks English, Spanish, Armenian, and Russian. When you call, you talk to a pharmacist — not an IVR, not a queue, not a kiosk.

Our team

Pharmacists, technicians, and delivery staff
English · Español · Հայերեն · Русский

Our pharmacists, technicians, and delivery staff are local, multilingual, and stable. Many of our patients work with the same staff member for years. We share the bench — new patient calls, hard compounding consults, and facility coordination all run through licensed pharmacists, not a call-center.
