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 Iowa Board of Pharmacy can tell you how Iowa expects a nonresident pharmacy to document that.

How this actually differs
This is a shipping 503A relationship with a Florida pharmacy — not a Council Bluffs storefront comparison.
| Promise Pharmacy (503A) | Commercial / retail | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it is made | Palm Harbor, FL compounding bench | Factory + wholesaler |
| Account model | Credentialed provider account + named manager | Retail profile or PBM network |
| Quality documentation | Third-party testing; COA in the portal | Manufacturer COA |
| Council Bluffs 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 Council Bluffs | Retail counter or mail-order PBM rules |
| Dosing | Written to the prescription, including custom strengths | Fixed commercial SKUs |
