1868 was the year that Hazle Drugs started in business and became Hazleton, Pennsylvania's First Pharmacy. Hazle Drugs has been located on the main street that runs thru the center of town for almost 140 years. This main road at one time was also the only roadway connecting two important rivers in Pa. ; the Lehigh and Susquehanna Rivers. Compounding medications, as well as mixing perfumes, paint, varnishes, soda and confections were all important features of this new business. As time has passed, some of those early services have moved to other businesses. But the one service that has not changed and has become the cornerstone of our business is prescription compounding. Compounding is the traditional but sometimes forgotten work of the pharmacist. From the1800's to the mid1900's prescriptions were compounded by the pharmacist and customized for each individual patient. However, today most pharmacies dispense pre-measured and pre-mixed dosages of medications, and do not specialize in customized medications. After many years located in the oldest building in Hazleton, ( the Hazleton House/Hazleton Hotel building was built in 1837 ), the Spear family completed a major expansion project in late 2003 which included the construction of a new ultra modern state of the art pharmacy at the same location as our previous building. One of the main features of this new facility is Hazle Compounding, the home of our new compounding pharmacy.
