Welcome!
Trinity Respiratory Pharmacy LLC, dba Both Worlds Pharmacy has been serving our community since 1997. Our practice began when entrepreneurs from various areas of the healthcare industry partnered together to establish a specialty respiratory pharmacy. The value of custom compounding was demonstrated within the respiratory pharmacy for patients challenged with managing multiple medications. Compounded medication provided assurance that they are getting the right medication at the right time in the correct dose. Partner and Pharmacist-In-Charge Terry Purcell guided the practice into additional aspects of compounding in order to provide the entire community the advantages of custom compounded medications to meet the unique needs of individuals, and their pets. |

| We expanded our practice in 2002 to include sterile compounding when we completed installation of our state-of-the-art Class 100 Cleanroom. This was a vital step in being in compliance with the new stringent USP 797 requirements for making sterile preparations put in place by the US Pharmocopeia. Our staff is highly trained in aseptic processes and techniques. Periodic environmental and personnel monitoring, continual education, and end product evaluation testing are all performed routinely and documented. |
