Lutz Pharmacy has been serving Altoona and the entire Metro area for over 34 years. Gene Lutz explains that as an independent pharmacy operation, they have always worked to provide services not met by the large drugstore chains. The Lutz motto of “We Take Time to Care” has served well as the guide in their dedication to stay focused on the patient behind every medicine they disperse.

In addition to filling standard prescriptions, Lutz offers unique support for patients that require more extensive pharmaceutical care. Compounding, for example, is one service that Lutz pharmacy provides to meet the specific needs for both medical and veterinary practices. Compounding requires special equipment, space, and training and Lutz pharmacy has been a leader in this specialty.

Long-term care pharmacy (Nursing Home pharmacy) is a special niche requiring both dispensing services and consulting services where pharmacists work with medicine and other health care caregivers to meet the patient’s specific medical needs.  Lutz pharmacy has developed expertise in this area and provides these services to many Metro facilities and more than 400 patients to support high quality long-term pharmacy care.

These days, as more consumers are prescribed several different medications that must work in tandem, there is more opportunity for confusion or even serious mistakes.  Lutz pharmacy offers medication therapy management to help patients and physicians navigate the dynamics of multiple medications to better treat the patient’s needs.

No matter how involved or basic a patient’s pharmaceutical requirement may be, Lutz pharmacy is committed to personal consultation and maintaining an on-going relationship with each patient to assist in quality patient health.
