Independent clinics, multi-site groups, and telehealth programs in Gaithersburg all write IV compounds differently. The compounding constraint is the same: one patient, one prescription, one labeled package.
Credentialing is not a formality. We check an active Maryland-recognized prescribing license (MD, DO, NP, PA, or equivalent) before the account orders IV compounds. Testosterone and other controlled substances also need DEA registration.
Standard compounding time is five business days. After that, Gaithersburg should plan on 2–4 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 Maryland Board of Pharmacy can tell you how Maryland expects a nonresident pharmacy to document that.
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 Gaithersburg sits with the Maryland Board of Pharmacy.
