Winkles Pharmacy
Winkles Pharmacy first opened our doors in January of 1989 after a long time dream finally came true for David Winkles. After graduating pharmacy school, he moved back to his home town of Milton, FL to be closer to his family as he started one of his own. During school, and the time after, David decided he wanted to start an independent pharmacy of his own to give back to the community he knew and loved. After 10 years of working and gaining experience in both hospital and retail pharmacy, David finally was able to turn that dream into a reality. Winkles Pharmacy is built on trust, good faith, and family values as shown in our motto, "Building a tradition of trust." We celebrated 25 years of business in 2014 and we want to give a multitude of thanks to this great community and the patients we serve every day. Without you and your continued loyalty Winkles Pharmacy could not be what we are today.
Our staff here at Winkles has a combined experience of more than 50 years. Come in and see for yourself the difference a community pharmacy really makes. We treat you like a member of our family. At Winkles Pharmacy we know your name and you are not just a blank face or prescription pad. This personalized level of service allows us to better serve your health needs. Together we collaborate with your doctor, insurance, and you to build your health profile and deliver the best possible pharmacy experience. Break free from the chains and "fast-food pharmacy" and come join a pharmacy that cares about your health, and the community.

Latest news
Flu Season is here! Get your Flu Shot now!
Here at Winkles Pharmacy we offer Flu shots! It is never too early to get your flu shot, and it is covered by many insurance plans including all Medicare Plans! The flu can be a serious thing and can lead to other serious health problems. The CDC recommends all persons 18 and older to get a flu shot to help the virus not to spread. The current flu shot offers protection from the three main strains of the flu virus. Here are some common myths debunked about the flu shot.
-
You cannot get the flu from the shot. It is not a live virus in the shot, therefore it is impossible to contract the flu from receiving the flu shot. If you happen to contract the flu shortly after you received your immunization, chances are you were exposed before hand. It takes a full two weeks for your body to build up immunity.
-
Pregnant women can be vaccinated, and should.
-
You still can contract the flu even with a shot, the vaccination protects you from the most common forms of the virus but there are many other types. However, the flu shot is your best protection against the virus.
-
You should get a shot every season! The flu shot is only good for one flu season and the vaccination is reformulated each year to protect against the most common strains.
Only people with compromised immune systems are not recommended for a flu vaccination.
