Primera Professional Pharmacy has made available a new prescription-based product called the Demovectin™ Kit. This is marketed as a combined treatment system for eyelid and lash conditions.
Primera Professional Pharmacy's Demovectin™ Kit consists of a custom-formulated topical ointment containing Ivermectin 1%, Metronidazole 0.5%, and Tea Tree Oil 0.3%. This science-backed blend is supported by two non-prescription eyelid hygiene products from the OCuSOFT brand — the OCuSOFT® Lid Scrub® Oust® Pre-Moistened Pads and the OCuSOFT® Dry Eye Mask Premium.
The pharmacy markets its Demovectin™ Kit as an integrated solution that emphasizes convenient dispensing without minimum order requirements, insurance pre-authorizations, or shipping fees. It is noted that the compounded medication within the kit is not subject to FDA approval but is prepared in compliance with relevant federal compounding regulations.
