About

The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Chula Vista operates under California Board of Pharmacy license PHY59374 at 296 H Street, part of the Medicine Shoppe International network — a Cardinal Health franchise founded in 1970 with nearly 500 locations across 43 states. The H Street location fills prescriptions generated by nearby walk-in and after-hours providers, including AFC Urgent Care Chula Vista, whose post-visit scripts route to independent pharmacies along the Broadway corridor. Beyond standard dispensing, the pharmacy stocks durable medical equipment including orthopedic braces, canes, and nebulizer kits billed through Medicare Part B and Medi-Cal. Immunization services cover flu, shingles, pneumococcal, and COVID-19 vaccines administered under California pharmacist-administered vaccine protocols, a clinical complement to the preventive screenings at Villa Optometry for patients managing diabetes-related vision and medication needs. The pharmacy's medication therapy management program reviews polypharmacy interactions for patients on five or more concurrent prescriptions, flagging contraindications through Cardinal Health's proprietary drug-utilization-review software.
