Central Pharmacy is your neighborhood health partner on Christopher Columbus Drive. We dispense with care, answer every question, and treat you like a neighbor — because that's exactly who you are.
What We Offer
From routine refills to specialized compounding, Central Pharmacy delivers the full range of community pharmacy services — with a personal touch you won't find at a big-box chain.
Accurate, timely dispensing with thorough drug-interaction checks. We double-confirm every prescription so you can take your medication with confidence.
Never hesitate to ask. Our pharmacists sit down with you to explain dosages, side effects, and how your medications work together — no rush, no judgment.
Flu shots, travel vaccines, shingles, pneumonia — walk in or call ahead. We keep you and your family protected throughout every season.
Need a dosage form or strength your doctor can't find off the shelf? Our compounding pharmacists create custom formulations tailored to your needs.
Blood pressure checks, A1C testing, and other preventive screenings right here at the pharmacy. Early detection saves lives — and it's convenient.
We work with most major insurance plans and Medicare Part D. Our team handles prior authorizations and copay assistance so you spend less time on hold.
About Us
Central Pharmacy was founded on a simple belief: healthcare should feel human. Located in the heart of Jersey City at 169 Christopher Columbus Drive, we've been the neighborhood's trusted pharmacy for over a decade.
While big chains process hundreds of prescriptions an hour, we take the time to know your name, your medications, and your health goals. Our pharmacist-led consultations aren't an upsell — they're standard practice.
Whether you're picking up a routine refill, managing a chronic condition, or just need someone who can explain your options clearly, Central Pharmacy is here for you. Walk in anytime — we'll make room.

Community
The best reward for a community pharmacy is the relationship it builds over time. Here's what some of our patients have shared.
"I switched from a big chain pharmacy and the difference is night and day. The pharmacist took fifteen minutes to go over my new medications with me — something no one at the chain ever did."
Maria G.
Jersey City resident for 12 years
"They handled my Medicare prior authorization without making me jump through hoops. My prescription was approved in days instead of weeks. That saved me so much stress."
Robert T.
Patient since 2018
"My whole family goes here now — from my teenager's vaccines to my husband's chronic prescriptions. It feels like having a healthcare home, not just a pharmacy on the corner."
Angela P.
Jersey City resident for 8 years
