What is VLS Pharmacy?

VLS Pharmacy is a LegitScript-certified 503A compounding pharmacy located in Brooklyn, New York, that accepts prescriptions from licensed prescribers via fax, EMR, or phone. It is not a software platform, not an ordering hub, and not an online prescriber portal — it is the pharmacy itself. VLS Pharmacy and its sister location New Drug Loft compound sterile and non-sterile medications across specialties including weight management, BHRT, IV therapy, dermatology, and pediatrics.

If you are evaluating VLS Pharmacy for your clinic's compounded medication orders, this page explains what type of service it is, who uses it, and how a clinic ordering platform like Fizy Health fits alongside or instead of a fax-and-EMR compounder relationship.

What is VLS Pharmacy, exactly?

VLS Pharmacy is a brick-and-mortar 503A compounding pharmacy at 4402 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY, owned and operated by Gopesh Patel, R.Ph. Alongside its sister pharmacy New Drug Loft in Manhattan, VLS Pharmacy compounds patient-specific sterile and non-sterile medications across integrative medicine, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, weight management, nutritional IV therapies, dermatology, pain management, pediatrics, and ophthalmics. Prescriptions reach VLS Pharmacy by fax, EMR, or phone — the pharmacy explicitly does not offer online ordering or supply online prescription forms. New prescribers start by completing an account form at newdrugloft.com and typically receive a response within two business days.

Who uses VLS Pharmacy

VLS Pharmacy serves prescribers who value pharmacist collaboration.

VLS Pharmacy's prescriber base tends to be clinics that value high-touch pharmacist consultation on custom formulations and whose daily volume works within the fax-and-EMR-per-patient submission model. Three clinic roles engage with VLS Pharmacy in different ways.

  • Owners

    Clinic founders choosing a pharmacy partner.

    Owners select VLS Pharmacy for the depth of its compounding capabilities — sterile and non-sterile, PCCA-sourced APIs, third-party testing — and for pharmacist-level collaboration when custom formulations are required. Because pricing is not public, the owner evaluates total landed cost during the account setup and business development conversation.

  • Operators

    Ops staff submitting prescriptions.

    Operations teams submit prescriptions by fax (855-491-0799), through the clinic's EMR system set to New York state, or by phone for urgent orders. There is no online portal to log in to, so order submission is one-prescription-at-a-time through existing clinic communication channels.

  • Prescribers

    Providers writing patient-specific Rxs.

    Prescribers write patient-specific compounded prescriptions on a state-issued pad or prescriber-created form, then send them via fax or EMR with full patient demographics and SIG. VLS Pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy, which means every order requires a valid patient-specific prescription — no bulk or office-use compounding without a script.

What kind of pharmacy VLS Pharmacy is

VLS Pharmacy is a 503A compounding pharmacy, not a 503B outsourcing facility. That means every medication it compounds requires a patient-specific prescription from a licensed prescriber — VLS Pharmacy cannot legally produce anticipatory stock without a script. This patient-specific model is the foundation of its quality program: medications are made to order for individual patients using PCCA-sourced APIs with certificates of analysis, third-party sterility and potency testing, and USP 797 and 800 compliant cleanrooms.

The pharmacy maintains a state-of-the-art sterile compounding facility with HEPA-filtered ISO Class 5 laminar flow hoods, in-house rapid endotoxin detection, and a designated hazardous drug segregated sterile room. As a PCCA member, VLS Pharmacy has access to over 8,000 pre-tested formulas and requires its technicians to hold PCCA certification. New Drug Loft in Manhattan handles non-sterile compounding; VLS Pharmacy in Brooklyn handles both.

How ordering actually works — and what to expect

VLS Pharmacy and New Drug Loft explicitly do not offer online ordering and do not supply online prescription order forms. To submit a prescription, a prescriber faxes to 855-491-0799 using a state-issued pad or a prescriber-created form (eFax and FaxBurner both work), sends through an EMR set to find VLS Pharmacy in New York state, or calls 844-857-5588 during business hours for an immediate order. All EMR scripts go to VLS Pharmacy in Brooklyn first.

For new prescribers, the starting point is the account form at newdrugloft.com/new-prescriber-account, which requires NPI, state license number, credentials, and a Medical Director signature. Response typically comes within two business days. Pricing for compounded medications is shared through the account setup process rather than published on the website — for IV therapy pricing, the business development contact is Samantha Blakeney at samantha@vlspharmacy.com.

Is VLS Pharmacy the right pharmacy for your clinic — or do you need a clinic ordering platform?

VLS Pharmacy fits if

VLS Pharmacy

A trusted Brooklyn 503A compounder. Then fax, EMR, or phone per Rx.

  • You value high-touch pharmacist collaboration on custom sterile and non-sterile formulations.
  • Your volume is low enough that submitting one prescription at a time by fax or EMR fits your daily workflow.
  • You only need VLS and New Drug Loft formulary — no second compounder in the same checkout session.
Consider Fizy Health if

Fizy Health

One cart for every patient. Every pharmacy. One checkout.

  • You batch dozens of GLP-1, hormone, or peptide refills and need one session for the whole patient list.
  • Fax-and-EMR per patient is eating hours your team should spend in exam rooms.
  • You need pass-through per-vial pricing visible before you quote patients or submit payment.
If you add Fizy Health to your ordering stack

What clinics get when batch checkout replaces one-fax-per-patient.

VLS Pharmacy is a compounder; Fizy Health is the ordering platform above it. Clinics that outgrow fax-and-EMR volume move to Fizy Health for the session-level outcomes VLS cannot provide as a pharmacy.

    How is Fizy Health different from VLS Pharmacy?

    Fizy Health is a clinic ordering platform, not a compounder. It lets clinics build one cart for every patient's orders, see pass-through per-vial 503A cost before checkout, and check out once across multiple LegitScript-certified 503A partners. VLS Pharmacy is the compounder you fax one prescription at a time; Fizy Health is the platform above that layer when your fax volume outpaces your team.
