Compounding is our passion. We take great pride in making medications to fit the individual. We work directly with your physician to evaluate your needs, formulate a custom blend, and adjust as needed for your personal balance.
Jerry Beamer, RPh
Jerry loves problem-solving and if he had to pick a favorite compound, would go with the methimazole ear prep for cats. "Just knowing that cat owners are going to be able to get this needed medication into their animal by easily rubbing into their ear without fear of being clawed or bitten is very rewarding!" Jerry graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1984 with a pharmacy degree and counts himself blessed to have Jean as his wife along with their 3 children, Amelia, Garland, and Colin. "Nobody loves me like Gracie, our Australian Shepherd!"
Jean Beamer
Jean is the co-owner of Andrews Apothecary and is married to Jerry. She is the buyer for the retail gift shop. Jean graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in voice performance, studied at UNC-Greensboro, and taught choral music and theatre for 12 years.

Her favorite thing about her job is overhearing customers laugh out loud at the unique and humorous gift selections at Andrews Apothecary!

Amelia Beamer
Up until 10th-grade chemistry hit, Amelia would have told you she planned to take over her dad Jerry's pharmacy. She ended up studying creative non-fiction writing and graphic design at UNC Wilmington, then earned her MFA in journalism from Syracuse University. An opportunity to help her parents with marketing while dipping her toes back into the "why" that made her love pharmacy to begin with presented itself — and we're thrilled to have her on board. Amelia's favorite thing about Andrews Apothecary is how it has been a cornerstone of the community for nearly a century.
