Pine Pharmacy

What Pine Pharmacy does

Pine Pharmacy is a family-owned compounding pharmacy founded in 1985 by Alfonse Muto on Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls, NY, now operating across Western New York with a flagship PCAB-accredited compounding-only pharmacy in Williamsville (Walker Center), the original Niagara Falls storefront, and an FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility (Pine Pharmaceuticals) in Tonawanda. The firm specializes in customized pharmaceutical compounding—including sterile and non-sterile preparations, Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), veterinary compounding, pediatric formulations, pain management, and men's health—producing bespoke dosage forms (capsules, liquids, creams, gels, nasal sprays, suppositories, lollipops, transdermal gels) tailored to individual patient prescriptions. Its core technology base combines traditional pharmaceutical compounding expertise with regulatory-grade infrastructure: the Williamsville site is one of the first nationally to earn PCAB accreditation, and Pine Pharmaceuticals is the only 503B outsourcing facility in the Western New York Region, enabling office-use distribution of verified potency, sterility, and endotoxin-tested preparations.

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market: walk-in retail pharmacy, prescription refills (48-hour turnaround), an e-commerce store (pinepharmacy.com/store/ and a Metagenics storefront) shipping at a $9.00 flat rate, and a regional prescriber referral network for BHRT and office-use compounded medications. Revenue is generated across four streams: (1) insurance-billable prescription compounding (BlueCross BlueShield, Independent Health, Univera, Express Scripts/Medco, CVS Caremark, Medicare, Medicaid accepted) on a transaction-fee basis; (2) over-the-counter and professional-grade supplements (Metagenics, Thorne Research, Nordic Naturals, Vital Nutrients, Integrative Therapeutics) sold one-time through both physical and digital storefronts; (3) 503B office-use product sales through Pine Pharmaceuticals to prescriber offices; and (4) proprietary Pine Pharmacy Exclusives and Bariatric Fusion branded products. Customers are primarily distributed across persona/use-case segments—Individual Patients, Women's Health, Men's Health, Pediatric, Pet Owners, Bariatric Patients, and Healthcare Providers/Prescribers—with no large enterprise anchors disclosed. Ownership remains entirely within the Muto family; no institutional investment, private equity backing, or parent company has been disclosed across nearly four decades of operation.
