Patient-specific compounding requests, quoted on your terms
A cat needs a quarter of the smallest tablet made. A dog needs gabapentin as a liquid without xylitol. A patient needs a low-dose capsule no one manufactures. These prescriptions arrive on Script Unlock from people reading our medication guides, and compounding pharmacies quote their own price.
Where the requests come from
Our pet medication guides tell owners, drug by drug, when a compounded preparation is the practical option: transdermal methimazole for cats that cannot be pilled, small-strength capsules and flavoured suspensions for cats and small dogs, xylitol-free liquids for dogs, potassium bromide solutions. Our human guides do the same for low-dose naltrexone and liquids made from tablets when a branded liquid is the only manufactured option.
Each of those guides ends by inviting the reader to upload the prescription and get quotes. A veterinary prescription names the animal and its species, so a pet request is recognizable from the prescription itself.
How it works for you
You see the prescription details and decide whether it is a preparation you make and can lawfully dispense to that patient. You quote a price, including any shipping you offer. If the patient accepts, you prepare it, mark it ready, and mark it collected or delivered when it is in their hands. Script Unlock charges a monthly subscription and a fee only on completed orders.
Compounded products are not FDA-approved, and patients increasingly ask about quality. Telling them about your accreditation, testing and beyond-use dates in your quote notes is the honest way to compete on more than price.
A good fit if
- You compound for individual patients under section 503A and your state board’s rules.
- You compound veterinary preparations, or are willing to.
- You are licensed or registered to ship into the states where your patients live.
- You can explain your quality process to a patient in a sentence or two.
Check before you quote
- For animals, that the preparation meets FDA’s Guidance for Industry #256: patient-specific, and not a copy of an approved drug unless the prescription states the clinical reason for that animal.
- For people, the 503A conditions on copies of commercially available drugs, which since the GLP-1 shortages ended rule out most compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide.
- Licensure for out-of-state shipping, and controlled-substance rules for anything scheduled.
- That you hold the actual prescription before dispensing; the uploaded image is for quoting.
Questions pharmacies ask
Can I quote on requests outside my state?
Only if you are licensed or registered to dispense into the patient’s state. Patients see your location with your quote.
Do you accept office-stock orders?
No. Requests are patient-specific prescriptions. Office stock for veterinary practices is ordered by the practice under its own rules.
What about GLP-1 compounding?
Requests for copies of commercially available drugs must meet the federal conditions for compounding them, which since the shortages ended most GLP-1 requests do not. Quoting is your decision and your responsibility.
Who pays, and how?
The patient or pet owner pays you directly. Script Unlock never handles the patient’s money.
