Sterile Compounding Pharmacy Technician

Company Overview

Before we opened Strive Pharmacy we were unsatisfied with the current state of the pharmaceutical industry. Most of the current pharmaceuticals only offer a one size fits all approach and often come with unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects. We found that through compounding we can offer a much more personalized solution to medicine.

We strive to interrupt an industry that has been closed to personalized care, accessibility, and nuance for too long. We shift a reactive view of self-care and ignite a proactive baseline-shifting approach to health for all. The human element is our crux and catalyst, driving all that we do, whether we're interacting with patients, providers, or practices. We’re here to partner with those ready for a change.

More than a compounding pharmacy, we are on a mission to positively disrupt healthcare as we know it.
