does telehealth actually matter or is it forum lore at this point
Genuine question, and the title is the question: does telehealth actually matter or is it forum lore at this point.
Asked for potency testing on the finished preparation. They had it. I had assumed they would not.
Kept the label from every vial. When the shortage status changed, having the paper trail made the conversation much shorter.
Paid noticeably more at one clinic than another for what turned out to be the same facility behind both.
Ask me anything specific. Anything general I will probably get wrong.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Potency and sterility testing on the finished preparation are separate from any certificate covering the starting material. Ask which you are being shown.
A 503A pharmacy compounds for an identified patient against a prescription. A 503B outsourcing facility registers with the regulator, may produce without patient-specific prescriptions, and is subject to current good manufacturing practice requirements. The two are governed differently and the difference is not cosmetic.
the pharmacy and the prescriber are two separate questions
Switched between two compounded preparations and the concentration on the label was different. Redid the arithmetic on paper before drawing anything.
the price difference is mostly the intake, not the vial
Cosigning the beyond-use date question. What it is based on tells you whether anybody has done stability work.

Small fix — 503B facilities register with the regulator; 503A pharmacies are licensed by the state board. Different mechanisms.
Yes. The shortage list is the legal hinge for the whole arrangement and its status is public.
ask what the beyond-use date is based on
salt forms are the recurring argument and the answer is boring

Disagreeing with this bit: registration is not equivalence, and the two get run together constantly.
Salt form matters for mass: a preparation specified as one salt and dosed as the free base gives you a different amount of peptide for the same number on the label.
