People & Paws Pharmacy opens on Oahu, offering custom-made medicines for both people and pets.

• A compounding pharmacy in Hawaii mixes medications tailored to each patient instead of only stocking standard drugstore products.
• It serves both people and animals, adjusting drug doses by body weight for pets ranging from tiny to huge.
• Special rooms handle sterile drugs, chemo, and hormones to keep both patients and staff safe.
• Hormone balancing, wellness vitamins, and skin care are offered as creams, capsules, or injections.
• The pitch is personalization — treating patients as individuals rather than just a name on a prescription.

Outlook: The newly opened Oahu location aims to grow by marketing custom medicine as a personal alternative to big chain pharmacies.
