For IV lounges, med spas, and integrative clinics in South Portland, Promise Pharmacy compounds glutathione, NAD+, and related IV / injectable wellness compounds on a patient-specific prescription, then ships from Palm Harbor, Florida. South Portland is a smaller city of about 26,840 residents in Cumberland County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). Fulfillment target is five business days in the pharmacy, plus 2–4 business days in transit.
Service area — shipping, not a storefront
South Portland sits in the New England region, with about 7,000+ licensed prescribers statewide. This figure is a statewide estimate. We prepare patient-specific prescriptions under 503A and ship them from Florida.
South Portland has about 26,840 residents in Cumberland 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 South Portland as South Portland — not as a satellite of a larger metro.
Independent clinics, multi-site groups, and telehealth programs in South Portland all write IV 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 South Portland accounts go to our compounding team in Palm Harbor.
Credentialing is not a formality. We check an active Maine-recognized prescribing license (MD, DO, NP, PA, or equivalent) before the account orders IV compounds. Testosterone and other controlled substances also need DEA registration.
Maine has broad telehealth prescribing parity compared with many states, which is why video-first IV lounges, med spas, and integrative clinics in South Portland are a normal account type for us. Controlled substances are still federal: testosterone remains Schedule III, and state telehealth laws do not waive Ryan Haight requirements. For the underlying 503A vs 503B split, we keep a longer explainer on 503A vs 503B compounding.
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 South Portland sits with the Maine Board of Pharmacy.
We do not operate a compounding bench in South Portland. Promise Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy at 31818 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. Patient-specific compounds for South Portland 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 South Portland.
Standard compounding time is five business days. After that, South Portland should plan on 2–4 business days in transit. Discuss any expedited requirements during your onboarding call.
