This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

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.

Beyond-use dating (BUD) for compounded supply compounded products:
Lyophilized (unreconstituted): typically 6 months from compounding date
Reconstituted with BAC water: typically 28-30 days refrigerated
Reconstituted with sterile water: typically 24 hours (no preservative!)
Always use BAC water for multi-dose vials. Sterile water has no preservative and supports bacterial growth after first puncture. This is a common and potentially dangerous mistake.

I have been on both brand and compounded, and in the context of compounded supply, my experience has been equivalent with both. The key is finding a reliable 503B pharmacy with independent testing.
