About Us
2
• What we do• We are a clinical software management platform, not a compounding
pharmacy.• We are not asking you to send us prescriptions.• Our service helps doctors manage the complex process of dispensing
compounded topical medications from their own offices.• We offer a turnkey solution designed to minimally impact the providers’ daily
workflow.
• Results• Highly effective and convenient treatment for patients. More than 75% of
your patients would prefer receiving their medications during their office visit• Bring additional revenue in-house.• Increase patient compliance. Cost containment to healthcare system.
• 30% of all prescriptions are never filled• According to the Institution for Safe Medicine Practices, pharmacy "call backs" cost
your practice an average of $6 per call or $30,000/year.• 3.3 Million adverse drug events occur each year from inaccurate information relayed
to the pharmacy at a cost of $250B annually.
What is Compounding• Before the widespread distribution of manufactured products,
most prescriptions were compounded.• Today only about 5% of prescriptions are compounded.• Compounding exists today as a means to create custom
tailored medications for a patient without having to go through the FDA approval process.
• When to use a compounded medication?• Combining medications that are not commercially available.• Creating custom doses that not commercially available.• Altering the administration route of a medication (vs. oral).
• Sterile vs. Non-sterile compounding.3

Compounding vs. Manufacturing
• A compound is by definition a Patient Specific Medication.• Not regulated by the FDA, our system does not go through
FDA approval process. Ingredients are FDA approved for safety and stability.
• Compounding is instead governed by USP 795 Guidelines.• Repackaging and re-labeling not state or federal compliant.• A compound is called by its generic name. (ex: 20% Baclofen)• Free samples / promotion of compounds are not common
practice.• Compounds cannot be transferred or sold between
pharmacies.6
