IV Therapy
An IV calendar that outruns commercial glutathione or NAD+ allocations — that’s why Lewiston clinics call. We compound IV compounds patient-by-patient and ship from Florida.

Promise Pharmacy is a 503A compounding pharmacy in Palm Harbor, Florida. It prepares patient-specific IV compounds and ships them to licensed providers in Lewiston, ME — Lewiston is a smaller city of about 38,404 residents in Androscoggin County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). Typical transit after dispatch is 2–4 business days. There is no Lewiston storefront.
Service area — shipping, not a storefront
The useful question is not “does Promise Pharmacy serve Lewiston?” It is “can a Maine license, a five-day compounding SLA, and 2–4 business days of transit cover the way this clinic actually doses IV compounds?” For most IV lounges, med spas, and integrative clinics, the answer is yes.
Lewiston has about 38,404 residents in Androscoggin 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 Lewiston as Lewiston — not as a satellite of a larger metro.
We do not operate a compounding bench in Lewiston. Promise Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy at 31818 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. Patient-specific IV compounds for Lewiston are prepared there, then shipped to the clinic or the patient named on the prescription. If you need a walk-in window on Androscoggin 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 Lewiston medical director wants the COA on file before the first patient injection, that is a normal request, not a special favor.
Independent clinics, multi-site groups, and telehealth programs in Lewiston all write IV compounds differently. The compounding constraint is the same: one patient, one prescription, one labeled package — not a crate of stock bottles for the fridge.
Standard compounding time is five business days. After that, Lewiston should plan on 2–4 business days in transit. If your protocol cannot survive that clock, say so on the onboarding call — expedite exists, magic does not.
Winter in Maine delays trucks and freezes doorsteps. Refrigerated IV compounds ship in insulated packaging with season-appropriate cold packs — a cardboard mailer is not a plan. If a Lewiston clinic would rather take delivery at the suite than leave a carton on a stoop over a weekend, we ship to the suite. Typical transit after dispatch is 2–4 business days.
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 Maine Board of Pharmacy can tell you how Maine expects a nonresident pharmacy to document that.
Maine has broad telehealth prescribing parity compared with many states, which is why video-first IV lounges, med spas, and integrative clinics in Lewiston 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.

How this actually differs
This is a shipping 503A relationship with a Florida pharmacy — not a Lewiston storefront comparison.
| Promise Pharmacy (503A) | Commercial / retail | |
|---|---|---|
| Lewiston 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 |
| Ship-to | Clinic or patient in Lewiston | Retail counter or mail-order PBM rules |
| Where it is made | Palm Harbor, FL compounding bench | Factory + wholesaler |
| Dosing | Written to the prescription, including custom strengths | Fixed commercial SKUs |
| 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 |
Questions we actually get
Maine compounding
These are separate programs on the same 503A account — still shipped from Palm Harbor, still not a Lewiston storefront.
