Specialty Compounding — When Off-the-Shelf Won't Do
Some of the most useful medications aren't on a pharmacy shelf at all. When your provider prescribes something specialized — Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), a compounded eye drop, a non-opioid pain formula made for you — we prepare it from your individual prescription, exactly the way they wrote it, one patient at a time. Made for you, not pulled off a shelf, with the same care we've brought to it since we were founded in 2007.
Compounded medications are prepared based on a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. They are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
Two ways in. One pharmacy behind both.
For patients
Has your provider mentioned a specialized compound you can't fill at a regular pharmacy — LDN, a custom eye drop, a non-opioid pain cream? See what we prepare across GI, eye care, and pain, then find a provider near you who can decide whether it's right for you.
For providers
Prescribing across GI, autoimmune, ophthalmology, or chronic pain — and need a 503A partner who can compound it? See how a peer-to-peer compounding partnership works.
Why patients and providers choose us.
One pharmacy, many specialties
When your care crosses several specialized needs at once — a GI or autoimmune compound, an eye drop, a pain formula — you don't want to chase three pharmacies; we prepare them all, each one made just for you from your provider's prescription.
Prepared per your provider's formulation
You won't find these on a shelf — each is a custom preparation your provider chooses, a specific combination, a particular strength, a base they specify, compounded to their exact order.
Standards you can verify
When it's something specialized going in or on your body, you deserve to know who's preparing it — so we hold ourselves to standards you can check for yourself: accredited by PCAB and ACHC, certified by LegitScript, a PCCA and APC member, and listed with the LDN Research Trust. All independently verifiable.
Sterile and non-sterile, done right
Your prescription might be a cream, a capsule, or a sterile eye drop — so we compound both ways, with sterile preparations made to USP <797> standards (and USP <800> where a preparation is hazardous).
Specialty compounds we make.
Your provider decides what you need; we prepare it — each one compounded just for you, from your provider's prescription, in the form and strength they specify. We don't sell these direct to you: your provider writes the prescription, and we prepare it.

Find your provider
Use our directory to find a provider near you who partners with The Chemist Shop and prescribes the specialized compound you're looking into.
Your provider prescribes
They decide whether a compounded option is right for you and, if so, send the prescription to us through their secure provider portal — including the strength, form, and formula they want.
We compound and ship
We prepare your medication to that prescription and ship it straight to you, anywhere we're licensed. Have a question about it? Our pharmacists — the people who actually prepared it — are here for you and your provider.
Prescribing across GI, autoimmune, ophthalmology, or pain?
You carry the clinical relationship; we carry the prep. Whether you're prescribing LDN for a complex autoimmune or GI picture, a compounded or autologous serum eye drop, or a non-opioid topical for chronic pain, you send the prescription through your provider portal — we compound it to your exact order, sterile work to USP <797>/<800> standards where it applies, and ship it straight to your patient, anywhere we're licensed. The model is simple: we educate your patients, you write the script, we compound and ship. And our pharmacists are here for both of you — whenever you or your patient has a question about a medication, a real person who knows it picks up. (We compound ketamine only for valid, patient-specific prescriptions — never office stock. We do not compound opioids.)
Become a Partner ProviderQuick answers before you decide.
A specialty compounding pharmacy prepares custom medications for one specific patient — you — from your provider's prescription, instead of manufacturing them in advance for general sale. It's where providers turn when an off-the-shelf product doesn't fit, across areas like GI, autoimmune care, eye care, and pain. Your provider decides what's right for you; we're the compounding pharmacy (a 503A pharmacy) that prepares it.
Go a layer deeper, when you're ready.

FDA non-approval
Compounded medications are prepared based on a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. They are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
Compounded ketamine — regulatory note
The FDA has issued warnings regarding compounded ketamine prescribed outside established clinical protocols. The Chemist Shop compounds ketamine only for valid, patient-specific prescriptions written by licensed providers for clinically-appropriate indications, and does not compound ketamine for office stock or non-patient-specific distribution. The Chemist Shop does not compound opioids. Consult your provider about whether a compounded medication is appropriate for your specific situation.
503A vs. DSHEA
503A compounded medications (prescription-required, regulated under the federal 503A framework) are distinct from DSHEA dietary supplements, which carry structure/function claims only. The medications described on this page — including compounded Low Dose Naltrexone, compounded and autologous serum eye drops, and compounded topical pain formulations — are prescription compounded medications, prepared at a patient-specific dose from your provider's prescription, not supplements.
State / service-area
The Chemist Shop Pharmacy is licensed in New York (HQ), New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, Arizona, and New Hampshire, with more states on the way. Availability of any specific compounded medication is determined by your provider and applicable state regulations.
