Important Information About Compounded Medications
This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Compounded medications are prepared based on a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not dietary supplements. Under section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, patient-specific compounded medications are exempt from FDA new-drug-approval requirements when prepared pursuant to a valid prescription for an individual patient. Compounding allows a medication to be tailored to a patient's specific clinical needs.
Compounded medications are not dietary supplements

Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy under a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Dietary supplements are regulated separately under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) and are not prescription medications.

Everything around the script, handled
You carry the clinical relationship with your patient. We carry the prep, the prior-auth legwork, and the follow-up — so partnering with us takes work off your day instead of adding it. The point of a compounding partner isn't another vendor login; it's taking work off your team.
A dedicated rep
You get one named point of contact who knows your practice, your categories, and your preferences — not a rotating call queue. Clinical questions, formulation help, order status: one relationship.
Full customization, by design
You order it; we make it. Strength, base, dosage form, allergen profile — built to your specification, patient-specific, per prescription. Customization is what a 503A partnership makes possible — every preparation built to your specification, not pulled off a shelf.
Onboarding in about one business day
Most practices are prescribing within about one business day of saying yes. Switching pharmacies usually means weeks of friction; here it's a short conversation and a portal login.
Prior authorization, handled
You write the script; our team works the prior authorization, so the paperwork between prescription and patient is our job, not your front desk's. One less administrative drag on your day.
Pharmacist counseling that extends your care
Your patients' and your team's medication questions get a pharmacist, not a hold message. The counseling and follow-up extend the care you start in the room — alongside your judgment, never around it.
Multi-state fulfillment
You practice across state lines; we ship directly to your patients in NY, NJ, CT, PA, FL, AZ, and NH — with more states pending and expanding. One partnership covers your footprint instead of a separate pharmacy per state.
Diversify beyond a single category
You can add the categories your current pharmacy doesn't cover — dermatology, men's health, women's health & BHRT, IV therapy, and specialty compounding — alongside weight management, and grow the practice without onboarding a new pharmacy each time. One relationship that expands as your prescribing does.
Patients sent back to you
When someone comes to us looking for compounded care in their area, we connect them with a partnered provider near them. That's the return side of the partnership: you send us the scripts, and we send patients back to your practice.
