Common questions.
Answers to common questions about compounded prescription skin care.
Full safety informationWhat skin concerns may be treated through NoTimeRx?
Available prescription options may address concerns such as acne, uneven texture, discoloration, and signs of photoaging. Available treatments depend on your medical history, provider evaluation, pharmacy capabilities, and state availability.
Do compounded skin treatments require an online visit?
Yes. Prescription treatments require an intake and review by a licensed provider before a prescription can be issued.
Why would a provider prescribe a compounded skin treatment?
A compounded prescription can allow a pharmacy to prepare a specific strength, dosage form, or combination of ingredients based on an individual patient’s prescription. The provider determines whether a compounded formulation is appropriate.
Can multiple skin care ingredients be included in one formulation?
Some compounded prescriptions may contain multiple active ingredients. Whether a combination formulation is appropriate depends on your skin concerns, medical history, previous treatments, and provider evaluation.
How long does it take to see results?
Timing depends on the condition, ingredients, formulation, and individual response. Many skin treatments require consistent use for several weeks or months before their full effect can be evaluated.
Is irritation normal when starting a retinoid?
Mild dryness, peeling, redness, or irritation can occur when starting certain topical retinoids. Your provider may recommend adjusting how frequently the medication is used or modifying other parts of your skin care routine.
Should I use sunscreen while using prescription skin care?
Sun protection is an important part of most skin care routines. Some prescription ingredients can increase sensitivity to sunlight, making consistent sun protection particularly important.
Can I combine my compounded prescription with my existing skin care products?
Sometimes, but certain combinations can increase irritation. Tell your provider about the cleansers, acids, retinoids, acne products, prescription products, and other topical treatments you currently use.
Are compounded skin medications FDA approved?
Compounded medications are not FDA approved and do not undergo the FDA premarket approval process used for commercially manufactured drugs. They may be prescribed when a licensed provider determines that a compounded formulation is appropriate for an individual patient.
Can I use prescription skin treatments during pregnancy?
Some prescription skin treatments are not appropriate during pregnancy or while trying to become pregnant. Tell your provider if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to become pregnant, or planning a pregnancy before starting treatment.
