[Question] 503B — what am I missing here
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 15mg to 7.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 23 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have sulphur burps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 83 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Asked 14 compounders about API source. One told me, one dodged, one said they cannot say. The answer is the signal.
shortage list status is 503A, check the actual list
Are we talking 503A or 503B?
This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.
503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
telehealth costs 503A plus compounding markup, total varies
Slight fix: the number was 97.9, not 97.6. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again

telehealth prescriber models exist, pricing differs by state
This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.6. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, not interpretation
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.
The 503A pharmacy I used lost their shortage list eligibility. Same day, compounding became illegal. Rules are real.
