the shortage list came off and my pharmacy stopped overnight

Regulatory

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/glp1canada repeats that shortage list is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 20 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality

The telehealth + compounding combo cost compounding plus 9% markup. Not cheap but covered by insurance depending on state.

The telehealth + compounding combo cost compounding plus 9% markup.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.

API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy

I am going to push back on this slightly.

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.

  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.
