Most people in the United States who use prescribed medications may never even meet or see the pharmacist who fills their prescriptions.
This gap in healthcare inspired Baylor Rice to open South River Compounding Pharmacy. According to Baylor, “As an independent pharmacist, I have the flexibility to spend more time with each patient and answer their questions. And most informed patients truly want to know more about the medications they take, or lifestyle choices that can prevent diseases, or natural alternatives that have health and fitness benefits.”
“Patients and caregivers who enter South River Compounding Pharmacy in Midlothian,Virginia, get more than just their prescription filled. They learn a great deal about their disease state, the use of their medication, and the things they can do to improve their well being. Plus, they always get a smile and good feeling. All of this is provided by R. Baylor Rice and his proactive pharmacy staff.”

South River Compounding Pharmacy works with patients and physicians to provide the best solution for each medication problem, including:
- Dosage Manipulation
