La Tienda Pharmacy

La Tienda Pharmacy is a pharmacy in Carlsbad, NM. The pharmacy operates as a locally owned drugstore situated inside the La Tienda Thriftway, serving residents in Carlsbad and the surrounding area of Eddy County with prescription services, adult immunizations, and a Test and Treat program in which the pharmacist can test for Covid, Flu, and Strep Throat and prescribe medication when appropriate. Walk-in adult vaccinations are offered for influenza, pneumonia, COVID, RSV, tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis, and shingles. The pharmacy is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 6:00 and is closed on weekends, and can be reached at 575-628-0637 or [email protected].

For patients managing multiple ongoing prescriptions, La Tienda Pharmacy runs a medication synchronization program, sometimes called med sync, that aligns refill dates so that all of a patient's prescriptions can be picked up on a single day each month. Staff work directly with patients to enroll them in the program. The pharmacy also handles standard prescription refills as part of its day-to-day operations, and the pharmacist on staff holds advanced training that qualifies them to deliver the point-of-care testing and prescribing covered by the Test and Treat service.

La Tienda Pharmacy sits on South Canal Street in Carlsbad, about a fifth of a mile from Dark Canyon Draw and Plaza de San Jose, roughly three-tenths of a mile from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park, and within half a mile of Carlsbad Fire Station 7 and Lower Transill Reservoir.

The pharmacy holds a positive rating from customers who have reviewed it, reflecting the experience of the people it serves in Carlsbad. As an independent drugstore co-located with a local grocery, La Tienda Pharmacy offers Carlsbad residents a neighborhood option for prescription refills, med sync, vaccinations, and same-day testing and treatment for common illnesses.
