Prescribers

For prescribers

Compounded prescriptions with a pharmacist you can reach. We make prescribing custom medications simple for you and your patients, from the first formula to the refill.

We specialize in compounding. Please send commercially manufactured medications to your patient's regular pharmacy. We currently prepare nonsterile compounds only (no injectables or eye drops).

Who we fill for. Prescriptions from MD, DO, NP, PA, DDS, ND and DVM prescribers, within their scope of practice. After you send it: we call your patient as soon as we receive the prescription. If there is an issue with the prescription, we call your office for clarification.
