One week after drug enforcement authorities raided Lowen’s, the popular mom-and-pop pharmacy at the corner of Third Avenue and 69th Street, new details emerged about the store’s alleged steroid sales.
The Daily News reported this week that the drugstore was using its pharmacy to mix stanozolol, a powerful anabolic steroid — and that the store received 100 requests for steroids and human growth hormone from all over the country while the agents were conducting their May 9 raid.
More than $100,000 in steroids and growth hormones were seized in the raid.
This week, it was business as usual at Lowen’s. A manager refused to comment.
