[Question] does anyone get a COA from their compounding pharmacy
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on telehealth in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
telehealth prescriber models exist, pricing differs by state
The 503A pharmacy I used lost their shortage list eligibility. Same day, compounding became illegal. Rules are real.
I am going to push back on this slightly.
503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality
The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
Sceptical.
Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.
telehealth costs telehealth plus compounding markup, total varies
The telehealth + compounding combo cost API source plus 15% markup. Not cheap but covered by insurance depending on state.
Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.
Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
Small correction: the trial was 12 weeks, not 38. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
state board rules differ, say which state
the Poland situation is different from the US, different regulations

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 11 weeks to accept.
