At Centrum Pharmacy, your safety matters. Recent comments by the President of the United States suggesting a link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy and autism have caused understandable concern. However, these claims are not supported by scientific evidence.

At Centrum Pharmacy, we care deeply about the quality of care you receive — and that care depends on having dedicated, full-time pharmacists available to serve our community.
