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

Promise Pharmacy is a 503A compounding pharmacy in Palm Harbor, Florida. It prepares patient-specific dermatology compounds and ships them to licensed providers in College Park, MD — College Park is a smaller city of about 34,187 residents in Prince Georges County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). Typical transit after dispatch is 2–4 business days. There is no College Park storefront.
Service area — shipping, not a storefront
If you practice in College Park, the honest version of this page is simple: we compound dermatology compounds in Palm Harbor, we are licensed to ship into Maryland, and we will not pretend a USPS tracking number is a local pharmacist down the street.
College Park has about 34,187 residents in Prince Georges 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 College Park as College Park — not as a satellite of a larger metro.
Maryland has broad telehealth prescribing parity compared with many states, which is why video-first dermatology practices in College Park are a normal account type for us. Controlled substances are still federal: testosterone remains Schedule III, and Ryan Haight is not waived by a friendly state telehealth statute. For the underlying 503A vs 503B split, we keep a longer explainer on 503A vs 503B compounding rather than restating it on every city URL.
Maryland has a large provider base concentrated in the Baltimore-Washington corridor and accepts nonresident pharmacy licenses. Verify a pharmacy license on the Maryland Board of Pharmacy site rather than trusting a marketing page, including this one.
Amy Patel, RPh, our COO, has more than 25 years in sterile compounding. Clinical questions from College Park accounts go to the same compounding team — not a city-specific pharmacist we invented for this URL.
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.
College Park is a smaller city of about 34,187 residents in Prince Georges County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). Dermatology practices here usually need two ship-to patterns: the suite, and the patient who never comes in. We do both on the same account.
We do not operate a compounding bench in College Park. Promise Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy at 31818 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. Patient-specific dermatology compounds for College Park are prepared there, then shipped to the clinic or the patient named on the prescription. If you need a walk-in window on Prince Georges County streets, we are the wrong vendor — and we would rather say that than pretend otherwise.
Every tested batch has a Certificate of Analysis in the provider portal. If a College Park medical director wants the COA on file before the first patient injection, that is a normal request, not a special favor.
