About the pharmacy

Where Southend is and what it makes

Southend Pharmacy is the trade name of AP Max Incorporated. Texas first licensed it in 2011, and it became a sterile compounding pharmacy in September 2023. In December 2025 it moved from Westheimer Road to a building on North Sam Houston Parkway West that it describes as 55,200 square feet.

It is a 503A pharmacy, which means it compounds medication for individual patients against a prescription. Seven Texas State Board of Pharmacy inspections from 2023 to 2026 recorded no deficiencies, and the board lists no disciplinary orders.

Its GLP-1 vials pair the active medication with vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) in 1 mL vials, with a 90-day beyond-use date. Southend says every temperature-sensitive order ships UPS Next Day Air in insulated packaging with ice bricks.

Reviews

What patients say about Southend

Southend's Google rating is high, at 4.5 from 440 reviews, but many recent 5-star reviews come from prescribers and clinics praising their account managers rather than from patients. Patient reviews on Trustpilot, the BBB and GLP Winner mention cold, well-packed shipments and good results. They also mention fill delays in 2025 and a pause in shipping to some states during the 2025 to 2026 move to the new building.

What reviewers praise

  • Cold-chain packaging that works: foam coolers, ice packs and temperature indicators (GLP Winner, Bariatric Reports).
  • Results patients and prescribers are happy with (GLP Winner).
  • Responsive account managers for prescribers and clinics (Google).

What reviewers complain about

  • Fill backlogs of 9 to 11 business days or more during 2025 (GLP Winner).
  • A pause in shipping to about 20 states during the move to the new building (Trustpilot, April 2026).
  • Phones that go unanswered (GLP Winner).
  • A heat-exposed shipment that was replaced only after it was returned (Trustpilot, September 2026).
