Why TFC for women's health

Three reasons OBGYNs send their hardest patients here.

Vehicles for sensitive tissue

Vaginal mucosa, vulvar skin, and post-procedural tissue need specific bases. Hypoallergenic, preservative-free, pH-balanced — not whatever's on the shelf.

Combinations in one prescription

Where a clinician wants several actives together, we prepare them as one compound in the strengths and ratio they specify — not three separate prescriptions to coordinate.

Discretion built in

Discreet packaging, local delivery — call to confirm your address, pharmacist consultations by phone if a patient doesn't want to come in. Privacy is a feature.

Dosage forms and bases

What we prepare, and in what.

WOMEN'S HEALTH COMPOUNDING

Custom women's health preparations — creams, capsules, troches, and vaginal dosage forms — prepared in our PCAB-accredited non-sterile lab. This page describes compounding capabilities, not treatment recommendations. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved drug products. Prescribers and patients can call (323) 348-4205 for formulation questions or transfers.

Common questions

Women's health compounds, frequently asked.

Are vaginal compounds safe?

Vaginal compounds are prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy to a prescriber's specification. We use vaginal-mucosa-appropriate bases, preservative-free where indicated, and pH-balanced for the application site. We are PCAB-accredited for non-sterile compounding; all non-sterile compounds meet USP <795> standards, and hormone-containing compounds follow USP <800> hazardous-drug containment. Ask your prescriber whether a compounded preparation is right for you.

Does insurance cover women's health compounds?

It varies by plan and by preparation — some compounded preparations are covered, many are not, and multi-active creams are usually out-of-pocket. We bill your insurance first and quote a cash price up front if it is denied.

Can these formulas be made for trans patients?

Yes. We compound for both feminizing and masculinizing protocols on prescriber order. Ask for our compounding pharmacist and they will go through the available forms and strengths with you or your clinician.

How discreet is your packaging?

All Rx is dispensed in opaque amber containers with standard pharmacy labels — no product descriptions visible on the outside. Delivery is in plain bags, signature required.

Can a patient transfer an existing women's health compound to TFC?

Yes. They can use our transfer page or call (323) 348-4205. We handle the call to the prior pharmacy. Timing varies by pharmacy; we'll keep you updated.

Need a women's health compound filled?

Prescribers: send the Rx and we'll handle the rest. Patients: transfer from another pharmacy — we handle the paperwork.
