reading telehealth threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly

Pricing Well Actually ×5 The Quiet One ×1 Slow Clap ×3

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking state board against eGFR for 35 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.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with state board, not with what you concluded.

u/nadia_fonseca39 points·2 years ago·edited

Disagree.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 82 weeks to accept.

shortage list status is API source, check the actual list

replysharereportpermalink
u/marit_mwangiOP80 points·2 years ago

Asked 5 compounders about API source. One told me, one dodged, one said they cannot say. The answer is the signal.

API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy

u/marit_mwangi67 points·2 years ago

Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.

batch number?

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

API transparency is the question that separates good compounders from sketchy ones

u/camila_sandvik27 points·2 years ago

Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.

replysharereportpermalink
u/rania_diallo8 points·2 years ago

Did they tell you their API source or dodge the question?

u/lipid_panel_larrybloodwork9 points·2 years ago

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

replysharereportpermalink
u/dario_stanescu5 points·2 years ago

This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.

Are we talking 503A or 503B?

replysharereportpermalink
u/tb500_tangent5 points·2 years ago

the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again

replysharereportpermalink
u/marit_mwangiOP21 points·2 years ago

This is correct.

Adding to this: state board is doing more work than the comment implies.

replysharereportpermalink
u/marit_mwangiOP16 points·2 years ago

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

u/camila_mensa12 points·2 years ago

503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality

u/milos_mensa3 points·2 years ago

503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

telehealth costs telehealth plus compounding markup, total varies

About c/compounding

Compounded GLP-1s as a supply route: the 503A/503B distinction, the shortage-list mechanics that made compounding legal and then didn't, state board rules, telehealth prescriber models, and what a compounding pharmacy will and will not tell you about its API source.

c/compounding rules
  1. Regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, notice or docket.
  2. No pharmacy referral codes. Naming a pharmacy is fine; recruiting for it is not.
  3. API source questions are on-topic and pharmacies dodging them is newsworthy.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.

Before you read on

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
