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

A Flint clinic that needs dermatology compounds does not need us to rent space in Genesee County. It needs a credentialed 503A account, a five-day compounding clock, and packaging that survives the trip. Flint is a mid-size city of about 79,661 residents in Genesee County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). Transit after dispatch is typically 2–4 business days.
Service area — shipping, not a storefront
If you practice in Flint, the honest version of this page is simple: we compound dermatology compounds in Palm Harbor, we are licensed to ship into Michigan, and we will not pretend a USPS tracking number is a local pharmacist down the street.
Flint (79,661 in Genesee County, U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates) loses winter days to weather. An unattended porch is a worse destination than a staffed suite when the compound is temperature-sensitive. Typical transit is 2–4 business days.
We do not operate a compounding bench in Flint. Promise Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy at 31818 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. Patient-specific dermatology compounds for Flint are prepared there, then shipped to the clinic or the patient named on the prescription. If you need a walk-in window on Genesee 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 Flint medical director wants the COA on file before the first patient injection, that is a normal request, not a special favor.
A mid-size market like Flint still lives or dies on repeat fills. Repeat fills of dermatology compounds only work if next month’s Rx does not sit in a mystery queue. Portal ordering, a named account manager, and a five-day compounding clock are the unglamorous parts that keep a panel intact.
Amy Patel, RPh, our COO, has more than 25 years in sterile compounding. Clinical questions from Flint 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 Michigan-recognized prescribing license (MD, DO, NP, PA, or equivalent) before the account orders dermatology compounds. Testosterone and other controlled substances also need DEA registration.
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 Flint sits with the Michigan Board of Pharmacy.
USP chapters 795, 797, and 800 are the compounding standards we work to — not a slogan. Sterile work is a 797 problem; hazardous handling is an 800 problem. The Michigan Board of Pharmacy can tell you how Michigan expects a nonresident pharmacy to document that.
How this actually differs
This is a shipping 503A relationship with a Florida pharmacy — not a Flint storefront comparison.
| Promise Pharmacy (503A) | Commercial / retail | |
|---|---|---|
| Account model | Credentialed provider account + named manager | Retail profile or PBM network |
| Quality documentation | Third-party testing; COA in the portal | Manufacturer CoA, not yours to pull per patient |
| What is being filled | Patient-specific 503A compound | Manufacturer stock bottle |
| Where it is made | Palm Harbor, FL compounding bench | Factory + wholesaler |
| Flint 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 |
| Dosing | Written to the prescription, including custom strengths | Fixed commercial SKUs |
