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

Ordering dermatology compounds in Tampa is a shipping relationship with a Florida 503A pharmacy. Tampa is a large city of about 403,364 residents in Hillsborough County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). The Florida Board of Pharmacy is the state regulator we answer to on nonresident shipments into Florida.
Service area — shipping, not a storefront
We support Tampa clinics with custom topicals for acne, hyperpigmentation, and post-procedure care — including hydroquinone and tretinoin combinations, prepared at our 503A pharmacy and shipped to Hillsborough County.
Tampa Bay is a few hours from our Palm Harbor pharmacy. Hillsborough and Pinellas clinics sometimes assume they need a local pickup window; most still do better with labeled, tracked shipping than with a staff member driving up US-19.
We do not operate a compounding bench in Tampa. Promise Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy at 31818 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. Patient-specific compounds for Tampa 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 Tampa.
Standard compounding time is five business days. After that, Tampa should plan on 1–2 business days in transit. Discuss any expedited requirements during your onboarding call.
Independent clinics, multi-site groups, and telehealth programs in Tampa all write dermatology compounds differently. The compounding constraint is the same: one patient, one prescription, one labeled package.
Amy Patel, RPh, our COO, has more than 25 years in sterile compounding. Clinical questions from Tampa accounts go to our compounding team in Palm Harbor.
Every tested batch has a Certificate of Analysis in the provider portal. If a Tampa medical director wants the COA on file before the first patient injection, that is a normal request, not a special favor.
Florida has a large provider market with strong telehealth adoption and favorable compounding regulations under 503A. Verify a pharmacy license on the Florida Board of Pharmacy site for current licensure information.
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 Tampa sits with the Florida Board of Pharmacy.
How this actually differs
This is a shipping 503A relationship with a Florida pharmacy — not a Tampa storefront comparison.
| Promise Pharmacy (503A) | Commercial / retail | |
|---|---|---|
| What is being filled | Patient-specific 503A compound | Manufacturer stock bottle |
| Ship-to | Clinic or patient in Tampa | Retail counter or mail-order PBM rules |
| Dosing | Written to the prescription, including custom strengths | Fixed commercial SKUs |
| Quality documentation | Third-party testing; COA in the portal | Manufacturer COA |
| Where it is made | Palm Harbor, FL compounding bench | Factory + wholesaler |
| Tampa transit & packaging | From Palm Harbor; typical 1–2 business days; insulated when the compound needs it | Local pickup or a chain that may not compound this Rx |

These are separate programs on the same 503A account — still shipped from Palm Harbor, still not a Tampa storefront.
