[Meta] the state board rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.
I have been tracking telehealth against triglycerides for 39 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.
Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.
tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.
Moved states and the compounding landscape changed completely. Different rules, different pharmacies, different costs.
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
telehealth costs state board plus compounding markup, total varies
the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 8 weeks to accept.
the 503A/503B distinction is load-bearing, do not blur it
API transparency is the question that separates good compounders from sketchy ones
Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.

Adding to this: 503B is doing more work than the comment implies.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
state board rules differ, say which state
telehealth prescriber models exist, pricing differs by state
no pharmacy referral codes, naming is fine, recruiting is not
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality
the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

Slight fix: the number was 95.1, not 94.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
the Denmark situation is different from the US, different regulations
no pharmacy referral codes, naming is fine, recruiting is not
Did they tell you their API source or dodge the question?
