Pharmacist in California Refuses to Dispense 'the Pill' and Celebrates 
One Year of Conflict Free Pharmacy After 35 Years of Experience

MEDIA ADVISORY, May 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- "We will celebrate on 
June 1st, 2008 our first year of conflict free pharmacy" said Brent 
Watson, RPh. Pharmacy Director and owner of Central Coast Pharmacy 
Specialists a compounding only pharmacy in Templeton, California.

The pharmacy defied Big Drug and Insurance Companies last year when they 
announced they would no longer take insurance or sell branded 
medications such as birth control pills and the morning after pill. 
"It's not good medicine", said Watson. According to leading authorities 
in the field of contraceptive technologies birth control pills can work 
by blocking the implantation of early human life. This is supported by 
the FDA required disclosures to patients taking "the Pill".

 According to Watson, "this puts pharmacists in direct conflict with 
their profession when forced to dispense against their conscience and 
professional promise to "do no harm" to patients. We want patients to 
know we are a pro- patient, healing only pharmacy that provides 
compounded medications individually made to fit the specific needs of 
each patient one prescription at a time." Patients should ask their 
doctor if a compounded medication can be made to fit their unique 
patient needs.

Often special medications are made with alternative dosing forms or 
without the ingredients such as dyes and preservatives that make some 
patients sick. "Patients who currently fill their compounded 
prescriptions at pharmacies that dispense birth control pills and feel 
uneasy with their conscience can now fill or refill their custom 
compounded medications at the only publicly Pro-Life Pharmacy in the 
State of California. We can also ship out of state directly to the 
patient's front door," said Roger Legreid, PR Coordinator at Central 
Coast Pharmacy Specialists.

Central Coast Pharmacy Specialists is nationally accredited by the 
Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) formally recognized by 
the American Medical Association (AMA) as adhering to "quality and 
practice standards". Common prescriptions or refills for Hospice 
medicines, Natural Hormone Restoration Therapy, Pain Management 
medications, Pediatrics, and cancer treatments can be phoned into the 
pharmacy or refill requests can be placed online.

Central Coast Pharmacy Specialists also supplies Veterinary Medications
