A PHARMACY, NATURALLY
If you're like me, you want medical doctors prescribing medications, but keep an open mind about natural remedies, too. That's why the new Pharmaca in Irvine is intriguing. It's the first integrative pharmacy in OC that we've heard of.
It bridges the gap between traditional and alternative health treatments by offering a conventional pharmacy to fill prescriptions and sell over-the-counter medications. And it also features homeopathic remedies, nutritional supplements, essential oils and other alternative medicines.
Pharmaca can also fill compounding medications (when doctor's specify custom formulations of drugs) allowing drugs to be formulated into lollipops for children and pills to liquid form, for instance.
Pharmaca also offers a bath and body section with toxic-free make-up and skincare lines, and one-on-one consultations with licensed aestheticians to assess skin treatments. You can also find gifts and sundries in a relaxing atmosphere.
Open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. 4139 Campus Drive at University Center in Irvine. 949.823.9755.
