Covington providers order compounded medications from Promise Pharmacy as a licensed nonresident 503A, not as a local retail counter. Covington is a smaller city of about 40,972 residents in Kenton County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). Compounds leave Palm Harbor under 21 U.S.C. § 353a and usually arrive in 1–3 business days.
Service area — shipping, not a storefront
We support Covington clinics with patient-specific 503A compounds with volume pricing, prepared at our 503A pharmacy and shipped to Kenton County.
Covington has about 40,972 residents in Kenton County (U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2023 population estimates). That is not a same-day courier market. 1–3 business days from Palm Harbor is the planning number, and we ship to Covington as Covington — not as a satellite of a larger metro.
We do not operate a compounding bench in Covington. Promise Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy at 31818 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684. Patient-specific compounds for Covington 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 Covington.
Amy Patel, RPh, our COO, has more than 25 years in sterile compounding. Clinical questions from Covington accounts go to our compounding team in Palm Harbor.
Covington is in Kenton County. We ship patient-specific compounds to clinics and patients in Covington.
From Palm Harbor, Florida to Covington, typical ground after dispatch is 1–3 business days. Most preparations for compounded medications in this category do not require frozen packing, but we still choose packaging for the weather the carton will actually sit in.
Credentialing is not a formality. We check an active Kentucky-recognized prescribing license (MD, DO, NP, PA, or equivalent) before the account orders compounded medications. Testosterone and other controlled substances also need DEA registration.
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 Covington sits with the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy.
Kentucky supports licensed nonresident pharmacy operations and has expanded telehealth prescribing access. Verify a pharmacy license on the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy site for current licensure information.
Ordering

Every 503A compound requires a patient-specific prescription in the portal.
