Dermatology
A commercial cream that cannot combine the actives on the pad — that’s why Annapolis clinics call. We compound dermatology compounds patient-by-patient and ship from Florida.

Clinics in Annapolis can order dermatology compounds through a credentialed 503A account, with five-day compounding and packaging selected for the shipping conditions. Annapolis is a smaller city of about 40,552 residents in Anne Arundel County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). Transit after dispatch is typically 2–4 business days.
Service area — shipping, not a storefront
We support Annapolis clinics with custom topicals for acne, hyperpigmentation, and post-procedure care — including hydroquinone and tretinoin combinations, prepared at our 503A pharmacy and shipped to Anne Arundel County.
Annapolis has about 40,552 residents in Anne Arundel County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). That is not a same-day courier market. 2–4 business days from Palm Harbor is the planning number, and we ship to Annapolis as Annapolis — not as a satellite of a larger metro.
We do not operate a compounding bench in Annapolis. Promise Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy at 31818 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. Patient-specific compounds for Annapolis are prepared there, then shipped to the clinic or the patient named on the prescription. Local walk-in service and pickup are not available in Annapolis.
Every tested batch has a Certificate of Analysis in the provider portal. If a Annapolis medical director wants the COA on file before the first patient injection, that is a normal request, not a special favor.
Annapolis is in Anne Arundel County. We ship patient-specific compounds to clinics and patients in Annapolis.
Credentialing is not a formality. We check an active Maryland-recognized prescribing license (MD, DO, NP, PA, or equivalent) before the account orders dermatology compounds. Testosterone and other controlled substances also need DEA registration.
From Palm Harbor, Florida to Annapolis, typical ground after dispatch is 2–4 business days. Refrigerated preparations for dermatology compounds ship in insulated packaging with season-appropriate cold packs.
Federal compounding authority for what we do is 503A of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 353a): a licensed pharmacy, a patient-specific prescription, USP compounding standards. State permission to land the package in Annapolis sits with the Maryland Board of Pharmacy.
USP chapters 795, 797, and 800 are the compounding standards we work to. Chapter 797 addresses sterile compounding, and Chapter 800 addresses hazardous drug handling. The Maryland Board of Pharmacy can tell you how Maryland expects a nonresident pharmacy to document that.

How this actually differs

| Ship-to | Clinic or patient in Annapolis | Retail counter or mail-order PBM rules |
| Account model | Credentialed provider account + named manager | Retail profile or PBM network |
| Dosing | Written to the prescription, including custom strengths | Fixed commercial SKUs |
| What is being filled | Patient-specific 503A compound | Manufacturer stock bottle |
| Annapolis transit & packaging | From Palm Harbor; typical 2–4 business days; insulated when the compound needs it | Local pickup or a chain that may not compound this Rx |
