[Discussion] can we stop arguing about compounding until somebody posts a number
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.
I have been tracking telehealth against eGFR for 19 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
the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again
Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 20–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
Mechanistically the bit that matters is telehealth. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
Asked 19 compounders about API source. One told me, one dodged, one said they cannot say. The answer is the signal.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 80 weeks to accept.
The 503A pharmacy I used lost their shortage list eligibility. Same day, compounding became illegal. Rules are real.
Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.

the 503A/503B distinction is load-bearing, do not blur it
