Lexington is a large Kentucky market — about 320,154 people in Fayette County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). Clinic delivery and direct-to-patient shipments are prepared at our Palm Harbor pharmacy.
We do not operate a compounding bench in Lexington. Promise Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy at 31818 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. Patient-specific compounds for Lexington 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 Lexington.
From Palm Harbor, Florida to Lexington, typical ground after dispatch is 1–3 business days. Most preparations for HRT compounds in this category do not require frozen packing, but we still choose packaging for the weather the carton will actually sit in.
Independent clinics, multi-site groups, and telehealth programs in Lexington all write HRT compounds differently. The compounding constraint is the same: one patient, one prescription, one labeled package.
Credentialing is not a formality. We check an active Kentucky-recognized prescribing license (MD, DO, NP, PA, or equivalent) before the account orders HRT compounds. Testosterone and other controlled substances also need DEA registration.
Standard compounding time is five business days. After that, Lexington 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.
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 Lexington sits with the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy.
