Your Compounded Cream Prescription: What You Need to Know
- Prescription sent – We sent the compounded topical cream prescription written by your NP to UCC Pharmacy located in London, Ontario.
- Delivery confirmation
- A signature is required when your medication is delivered. If the patient is unavailable, a family member may sign. If no one is home to accept the delivery, the medication will be sent to the nearest post office, where a signature will also be required for pickup.
- If accessibility, transportation, or location may make this difficult, please contact UCC Pharmacy before delivery to discuss available options.
- You will receive email updates at the address on file, allowing you to track your estimated delivery time.
- Using your cream: Follow the directions on your prescription label. Unless your NP advises otherwise, apply the cream to the affected area 4–6 times daily as needed. One pump is approximately one gram.
- Contact Spartan Wellness if:
- Your health information changes or the cream is not effective. Treatment changes, including formula or strength adjustments, require an NP assessment.
- You develop a rash, allergic reaction, or other concerning symptoms. Stop using the cream and contact our team for guidance.
- You want to pause or stop treatment for any other reason.
- Contact UCC Pharmacy when you have questions about coverage, prescription processing, refills, shipments, or delivery.
- Coverage and payment: UCC will contact you to discuss private insurance and billing once they process your prescription.
