Our History

"Old Fashioned Care and Service…. The way pharmacy should be"

Rotz Pharmacy…a locally owned Independent Community Pharmacy began in 1976 under the name of Barry’s Drug Store at 23 W. Boscawen Street. John Rotz purchased Barry’s Drug Store upon graduation from the Medical College of Virginia, School of Pharmacy/VCU.

After practicing in downtown for 2 years, he decided to expand his business and moved, in October 1978, to Medical Circle (off Amherst Street) and changed the name to Medical Circle Pharmacy. Although successful, Mr. Rotz saw a need for another expansion and in April 2004, built a new building at 1338 Amherst Street and once again changed the name of his business to Rotz Pharmacy.

Offering “Old Fashioned Care and Service…. The way pharmacy should be” has always been our slogan and those patrons who walk through our door have found that because of the friendly service and fast filling of their prescription, there is NO other place to go, to get better pharmaceutical care.

"Old Fashioned Care and Service… The Way Pharmacy Should Be”

Custom Compounding

One size doesn't fit all. Our specialty lab creates custom dosage forms, flavors, and allergen-free medications for humans and pets.

Rotz Pharmacy is willing to compound your medication if it is not available as a standard prescription product. We will work with your physician to come up with a way to meet your medication needs. We will attempt to bill your prescription plan, as these prescriptions can often be more expensive.

We can compound the following forms of medications for adults and children:

  • Topical creams and ointments
  • Oral solutions and suspensions

Do you have a family pet? Have you ever needed a medication for them and did not know where to get it? We may be able to compound the prescription for you! Ask your veterinarian to call us to find out if we can make the medication for you.

  • Flavoring

Sometimes liquid medication can taste really bad. It can be difficult to get a small child or animal to take these medications. We are here to help! Surely your daughter would prefer “bubblegum” to “medicine taste” and that your cat would welcome the “taste of tuna”!

Rotz Pharmacy can flavor most liquid medications for a small fee of $2.99 per prescription. Ask us the next time you need a prescription for your child or pet.

Need a custom formula?

We work directly with your physician to solve medication problems.
