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

Fort Collins providers order dermatology compounds from Promise Pharmacy as a licensed nonresident 503A, not as a local retail counter. Fort Collins is a mid-size city of about 170,376 residents in Larimer County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). Compounds leave Palm Harbor under 21 U.S.C. § 353a and usually arrive in 3–5 business days.
Service area — shipping, not a storefront
When planning orders for dermatology compounds in Fort Collins, allow five business days for compounding plus 3–5 business days in transit. Discuss your practice’s scheduling requirements with our team.
Fort Collins in Larimer County (170,376 residents, U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates) sits on a mountain-west lane. Winter passes and summer valley heat are why we quote 3–5 business days instead of a single two-day promise.
Fort Collins is in Larimer County. We ship patient-specific compounds to clinics and patients in Fort Collins.
Every tested batch has a Certificate of Analysis in the provider portal. If a Fort Collins medical director wants the COA on file before the first patient injection, that is a normal request, not a special favor.
Standard compounding time is five business days. After that, Fort Collins should plan on 3–5 business days in transit. Discuss any expedited requirements during your onboarding call.
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 Colorado State Board of Pharmacy can tell you how Colorado expects a nonresident pharmacy to document that.
Colorado recognizes compounded medications under its pharmacy practice act and allows direct-to-patient shipping. Verify a pharmacy license on the Colorado State Board of Pharmacy site for current licensure information.
We do not operate a compounding bench in Fort Collins. Promise Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy at 31818 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. Patient-specific compounds for Fort Collins 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 Fort Collins.
Mountain-West weather (snow on the passes, heat in the valleys) is why we do not quote a single “two-day everywhere” number for Fort Collins. Refrigerated preparations for dermatology compounds ship in insulated packaging with season-appropriate cold packs. Typical transit after dispatch is 3–5 business days.
How this actually differs
