Collaboration Aims to Support Alpha-Gal Syndrome Patients and Expand Access to Safe, Animal-Free Health Products in Southeast Missouri

VeganMed is excited to announce its collaboration with Hometown Pharmacy to improve access to animal-free medications and raise awareness about Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS). Missouri ranks among the states with the highest prevalence of AGS, and this partnership is dedicated to supporting the growing number of patients affected by the condition.


“We at Hometown Pharmacy are excited to partner with VeganMed to better serve not only our alpha-gal patients, but the whole community,” said Makenzie Griffin, Pharm.D., at Hometown Pharmacy.

Hometown Pharmacy, an independent pharmacy located in Doniphan, MO, is deeply committed to the needs of AGS patients. The pharmacy is establishing an alpha-gal friendly section within the store to offer products that meet the dietary and medical needs of this unique group. With its rural location in southeast Missouri, Hometown Pharmacy plays a vital role in serving a large population of AGS patients who rely on specialized health products.


Through this collaboration, VeganMed and Hometown Pharmacy aim to provide increased access to animal-free medications, ensuring better safety and care for patients affected by AGS.
