For compounded supply users considering compounded for the first time: here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Get a prescription from your doctor (telehealth counts)
2. Research 503B compounding pharmacies with good community reviews
3. Verify their FDA registration and inspection history
4. Request a COA for your specific compound before ordering
5. Start with a 1-month supply to test
6. Consider sending a sample to Janoshik for independent verification
7. Track your response compared to brand (if you were on it previously)

Compounding pharmacy licensing verification for compounded supply: before ordering, verify your pharmacy's credentials:

1. State Board of Pharmacy license — check on your state BOP website
2. FDA registration (for 503B) — check on fda.gov
3. DEA registration if handling controlled substances
4. PCAB accreditation — voluntary but demonstrates commitment to quality
5. USP <797>/<800> compliance for sterile compounding

This takes 10 minutes of research and could save you from receiving substandard or unsafe medication.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice.

GMP compliance checklist relevant to compounded supply compounding quality:

• Clean room environment with HEPA filtration
• Environmental monitoring (viable and non-viable)
• Personnel training and competency assessment
• Validated analytical methods for testing
• Stability testing program
• Complete batch records and traceability
• Quality management system with deviation handling

A 503B pharmacy following cGMP should be able to answer questions about ALL of these if you ask. Don't be afraid to ask — it's your health.

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Coming back a few months on. It held. Nothing dramatic to report, which is the report.
