How to confirm you are looking at VLS Pharmacy the compounder
The clearest signals are the website domain and the product description. VLS Pharmacy the compounder lives at vlspharmacy.com and newdrugloft.com. Its product is 503A compounded medications — sterile and non-sterile — accepted by fax, EMR, and phone. It has two physical New York locations and is owned by Gopesh Patel, R.Ph. If a search result describes a 'VLS' in logistics (Vanguard Logistics Services is a common VLS abbreviation), a retail storefront, a financial services provider, or any entity outside 503A pharmacy compounding, that is a different business entirely.
Another source of confusion is VLS Pharmacy vs. New Drug Loft. These are two independent but jointly operated pharmacies sharing the same ownership, website, phone number (844-857-5588), and business development team. New Drug Loft at 1410 Second Ave in Manhattan focuses on non-sterile compounding; VLS Pharmacy in Brooklyn handles both sterile and non-sterile. EMR prescriptions are initially routed to VLS Pharmacy in Brooklyn. The two operate under separate pharmacy licenses — they are sister pharmacies, not branches of one license.
