Since opening in August, Sienna Compounding Pharmacy has seen its customer base increase steadily.
The Missouri City business benefits from a growing medical and health care industry nearby.
“We specialize in hormone replacement therapy, pediatrics and dermatology,” owner and Pharmacist Lori Markel said.

Sienna Compounding Pharmacy also offers prescription services for podiatry, sports medicine, dentistry and palliative care.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, compounding is the practice wherein a physician, pharmacist or someone under a pharmacist’s supervision combines, mixes or alters ingredients of a drug to create a medication tailored to the needs of an individual patient.
The business also added wellness consultations to its repertoire. Patients complete a questionnaire and can schedule visits with a pharmacist that may last between 30 minutes to an hour, Markel said. During the consultations, staff may make recommendations about medications or other treatments.
The service costs $120 for the full hour but Markel said Sienna Compounding Pharmacy is extending a 50 percent discount through Jan. 31. The business also provides prescription refills and transfers.
