For compounded supply users considering compounded for the first time: here's a step-by-step guide:
- Get a prescription from your doctor (telehealth counts)
- Research 503B compounding pharmacies with good community reviews
- Verify their FDA registration and inspection history
- Request a COA for your specific compound before ordering
- Start with a 1-month supply to test
- Consider sending a sample to Janoshik for independent verification
- Track your response compared to brand (if you were on it previously)

That reframing is the part I needed. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
Compounding pharmacy licensing verification for compounded supply: before ordering, verify your pharmacy's credentials:
- State Board of Pharmacy license — check on your state BOP website
- FDA registration (for 503B) — check on fda.gov
- DEA registration if handling controlled substances
- PCAB accreditation — voluntary but demonstrates commitment to quality
- USP <797>/<800> compliance for sterile compounding
This takes 10 minutes of research and could save you from receiving substandard or unsafe medication.

Same pattern here, and in the same order. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.

Compounding pharmacy response time test for compounded supply: I email customer service at odd hours to test responsiveness. A pharmacy that can't answer questions promptly is a red flag.
My current pharmacy: average response time same day. They answered my questions about sterility testing thoroughly and professionally.
Communication quality is a proxy for operational quality. A pharmacy that communicates well is likely manufacturing well too.
