For weight-loss clinics and obesity-medicine practices in Richmond, Promise Pharmacy compounds semaglutide and tirzepatide on a patient-specific prescription, then ships from Palm Harbor, Florida. Richmond is a smaller city of about 37,206 residents in Madison County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). Fulfillment target is five business days in the pharmacy, plus 1–3 business days in transit.
Service area — shipping, not a storefront

Richmond is in Madison County. We ship patient-specific compounds to clinics and patients in Richmond.
Amy Patel, RPh, our COO, has more than 25 years in sterile compounding. Clinical questions from Richmond accounts go to our compounding team in Palm Harbor.
Standard compounding time is five business days. After that, Richmond should plan on 1–3 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 Kentucky Board of Pharmacy can tell you how Kentucky expects a nonresident pharmacy to document that.
Kentucky has broad telehealth prescribing parity compared with many states, which is why video-first weight-loss clinics and obesity-medicine practices in Richmond 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.
We do not operate a compounding bench in Richmond. Promise Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy at 31818 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. Patient-specific compounds for Richmond 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 Richmond.
Credentialing is not a formality. We check an active Kentucky-recognized prescribing license (MD, DO, NP, PA, or equivalent) before the account orders GLP-1 compounds. Testosterone and other controlled substances also need DEA registration.
Ordering
Active Kentucky prescribing license (and DEA if you will order controlled substances). Approval is typically within 48 hours — not instant.
Every 503A compound requires a patient-specific prescription in the portal.
Five business days on the Palm Harbor bench, with third-party testing on lots that require it.
Clinic or patient address. Typical transit 1–3 business days. Refrigerated compounds go insulated.
