Compound Therapy in Illinois, Clinically-Prescribed Telehealth

How telehealth compound therapy works for Illinois residents

Tides is a cash-pay telehealth practice. Every protocol is reviewed and prescribed by a licensed clinician before any compound is dispensed. Illinois residents complete the entire process from home: intake online, labs at a local Quest or LabCorp, medication shipped to your address.

1. Intake. Structured medical intake covering goals, current medications, allergies, conditions, and recent labs.
2. Clinician review. Dr. Rachel Deutsch, DNP personally reviews every intake.
3. Required labs. Baseline panel drawn at any Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp in Illinois.
4. Prescription + compounding. A 503A pharmacy compounds your protocol; it ships to your Illinois address.
5. Refills with clinical touch. Routine refills auto-approve; every fourth refill routes back to the clinician for review.
