[Discussion] we are measuring telehealth at the wrong time and calling it noise
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.
Setup: 2.4mg, week 31, constipation present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — 503B — and tracked it for 13 weeks.
Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.
Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.
Did they tell you their API source or dodge the question?
the 503A/503B distinction is load-bearing, do not blur it
Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.
Asked 7 compounders about API source. One told me, one dodged, one said they cannot say. The answer is the signal.

state board rules differ, say which state
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
shortage list status is shortage list, check the actual list
shortage list status is 503A, check the actual list
503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality

API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.
Not to be pedantic but 503B and telehealth are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again
