ABOUT US

1. Are you a 503A or 503b Pharmacy?

We are licensed 503A compounding facilities. Learn more about what that means here.

2. Where are you licensed?

We are currently licensed in 20 U.S. states and are continually expanding our state licensures on a monthly basis. Please contact us if you have any specific questions.

3. Will you require prescriptions for all compounded medications?

We are a 503A compounding pharmacy which means we cannot compound medications without a patient-specific prescription approved by a prescribing practitioner. This helps us maintain a patient-first approach and personalized customer service standards. Please read more here.

4. Where are you based and where do you compound medications?

We have two physical pharmacy locations in New York State – a retail location called New Drug Loft on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and VLS Pharmacy in Brooklyn which combines a retail location with our state-of-the-art sterile and non-sterile laboratory facilities.

5. Do you work with/compound for and ship to practices and providers outside the United States?

We are thrilled to receive so many inquiries from practitioners around the globe but, unfortunately, we are unable to work with countries outside the United States at this time.

6. Why should I choose VLS Pharmacy?

We are glad you asked! We absolutely couldn’t summarize it all here so we invite you to read all about ‘Our Difference’ on the dedicated page, take a digital tour of our pharmacy, and learn more about how our status as a 503A pharmacy ensures that you are getting top quality, safe formulas and white glove customer service 24/7.
