Were you a McKinney Pharmacy patient? Then you might be wondering where to go next. After 118 years, the family-owned compounding pharmacy on W. University Drive closed in August 2025.
Here’s the good news. You still have a compounding pharmacy in McKinney, right here in town. Medrocs Pharmacy is on Virginia Parkway, and we’d love to take care of you.
Quick answer: To move your compounded prescription to a compounding pharmacy in McKinney, call Medrocs at (469) 625-1000 or fill out our online transfer form. We contact your old pharmacy and your provider for you. Most transfers are done the same day.
What Happened to McKinney Pharmacy?
McKinney Pharmacy served our town since 1907. That’s more than a century of filling prescriptions and making custom medicines for local families. It closed on August 8, 2025.
When it closed, its prescriptions and compounding work moved to its sister store, City Drug in Van Alstyne. That’s about a 20-mile drive north.
We want to say thank you to the McKinney Pharmacy team. They cared for this community for a long time. If City Drug works well for you, that’s great! But if you’d rather have a compounding pharmacy close to home, keep reading. We’ll make the switch easy.
How to Transfer Your Compounded Prescription in 4 Easy Steps
Switching to a compounding pharmacy in McKinney takes just a few minutes on your end. Here’s how it works:
- Grab your info. Have your medicine name and strength handy. An old label or bottle works great. Know your prescriber’s name, too.
- Send us your request. Use our online transfer form or call (469) 625-1000. That’s it for you!
- We do the legwork. We call City Drug and your provider. If we need a new prescription, we reach out to your doctor for you.
- Pick it up or get it delivered. Choose store pickup, curbside pickup, or free home delivery.
- Some controlled medicines have extra rules. Testosterone is one example. Schedule II medicines can’t be transferred. Schedule III–V medicines must be filled once at the first pharmacy before they can move. If a transfer isn’t possible, your provider can send us a new prescription.
- Older prescriptions may have expired. If it’s been a while since your last fill, we’ll help you get a fresh one.
- Compounds can differ between pharmacies. Our pharmacist will review your formula with you and your provider. That way, your medicine fits you just right.

What Can Medrocs Compound for You?
Compounding means a pharmacist makes a medicine just for you. Maybe you need a different strength. Maybe you need a cream instead of a pill. Or maybe you need a version without a dye or filler you react to.
As a compounding pharmacy in McKinney, Medrocs makes custom medicines for:
- Hormone therapy for women, like estradiol and progesterone
- Hormone therapy for men, like testosterone creams
- Skin care and dermatology, like tretinoin and hydroquinone
- Hair loss treatments
- Weight loss with compounded GLP-1s
- Mouth and throat relief, like Magic Mouthwash
Don’t see your medicine? Call us! We make many other compounds, too.
One honest note: compounded medicines are not FDA-approved. That’s because each one is made for one person. The FDA explains how compounding works and why quality matters. That’s why it’s smart to choose a pharmacy you trust. Medrocs is accredited by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). New to all this? Start with What Is a Compounding Pharmacy?
