Local pharmacy makes hand sanitizer - free to those in need

From Easton Bryant, owner, North Century Pharmacy

After several days of diligent work and temporary approval from both the FDA and our Board of Pharmacy, we have completed our first batch of compounded hand sanitizer. The preparation is made of USP-grade ingredients and to the exact specifications of the FDA's required formulation.

As one may expect, these particular ingredients proved hard to find and did not come cheap, but providing this service and product to our community at no cost fits squarely into our mission.

Yes, we are a retail business, but we do not exist solely to generate profit. Our hearts go out to those small businesses who are unable to keep their doors open during this trying time.



This product is not meant to replace the best practice of thorough hand-washing - we are merely filling a need. We are consistently working to obtain more pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and ask that you limit yourselves to one bottle per individual per two weeks.

If you know of an elderly, homebound, or otherwise vulnerable individual who is having difficulty locating hand sanitizer, let us know and we will deliver. Call 270.380.1230 or reach out at www.northcenturypharmacy.com.

A pharmacist that's part of the solution



2020-03-19 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Easton Bryant, owner of North Century Pharmacy in Columbia, has a desire to be part of the solution getting people back to good health when they need help, and to stay healthy when they can. You've heard that the pharmacy is specializing in compounding but this allows non-healthcare folks to learn what that means - he has created, "mixed/compounded," hand sanitizer at a time when it is very hard to get in this coronavirus pandemic. And the reason this is featured free of charge in ColumbiaMagazine.com news is that he's giving it free of charge to people in need. Details and contact information are in the story linked to this photo.
