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.
