Bolton’s Pharmacy – Your Complete Pharmacy!
Bolton’s Pharmacy has been serving the pharmacy needs of Northern New York since 1895. As a locally-owned, independent pharmacy, Bolton’s is not your typical sleepy, little neighborhood pharmacy. In fact, their motto is “Your Complete Pharmacy”, based upon the wide range of services and customized medication solutions they offer their customers. They offer solutions such as: an expanded customized compounding program (for humans and pets), home IV infusion therapy services, prescription plans to local employers and pharmacy services to nursing homes, and a wide line of durable medical equipment and home health aids.Bolton’s Pharmacy offers a modern pharmacy, constantly changing with the times to include a newly installed state-of-the-art computerized prescription system and a physical expansion of their pharmacy by over 400%.
Bolton’s Pharmacy is a member of the Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA), a training and education organization accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). Bolton’s is the only PCCA member pharmacy in the City of Watertown.
One thing they haven’t changed is their priorities. Bolton’s priorities are about being a pharmacy first and not a convenience store with a pharmacy hidden in the back. In today’s big chain pharmacy environment some people say a small independent pharmacy such as Bolton’s is a dinosaur. We don’t think so. In fact we believe that our continued commitment and focus on being the best pharmacy we can be is ultimately what people want. Our customized compounded medicines are the perfect example of this. Working with your physician we can change the strength of a medication using several unique delivery systems for the entire family: children, elderly, and even your pets.”

Bolton’s specializes in Compounding Medicines, including chewable treats for the four-legged members of our family.
People are not the only ones who benefit from compound medication. It is becoming a very popular solution to veterinary problems, because anyone who has a pet knows that delivering their medication can often be a frustrating and impossible task. Unique delivery systems for animals can be created in forms such as medicine ointments, special pet treats or easy-to-give flavored dosage forms that animals devour. Whether your pet is a cat or dog, ferret or snake, a compounding pharmacist can develop a unique delivery system and exact quantities for the pet you love.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the benefits of using an independent pharmacy?
- Independents score highest in home delivery, prescription compounding, counseling, personal relations, prescription accuracy, and even prescription flavoring.”
- What are the benefits of compounded medicine?
- Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications for patients, as opposed to standard prepared doses and delivery methods. Known as a problem-solving medication, compounding can offer individual solutions for individual needs in the community including children, elderly, Hospice, and veterinary applications just to name a few. Searching for an appropriate match for the medication’s properties, delivery method, and the patient’s taste preferences is the goal of a compound pharmacist. This can be of particular importance for children and elderly patients. For toddlers, medication in the form of a tasty lollipop or gummy chewable would assure the child receives the full dose as opposed to a standard form, which too often is spit back out. For the elderly, capsules and tablets are often hard to swallow so liquid forms or a gel applied to the skin may be the best delivery method for them.
- What is Home Infusion therapy?
- Home infusion allows the patient to maintain an active lifestyle within the comfort of their home while receiving treatment necessary for their condition. Infusion therapy is initiated with orders from qualified physicians and healthcare professionals. While this is more beneficial for the patient, it also reduces the cost of a hospital visit or stay. Examples of Home Infusion Therapy include: Pain Management Medications, Hydration Therapy, Nutrition, and Specialty Drug Regimens.
