[Results] 31 weeks on 5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring
Quick one. Canada here.
state board works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.
Specifics: the route I used took 18 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.
Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.
Moved states and the compounding landscape changed completely. Different rules, different pharmacies, different costs.
Did they tell you their API source or dodge the question?
503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality
503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality
Adding to this: shortage list is doing more work than the comment implies.
shortage list status is 503B, check the actual list
shortage list status is 503A, check the actual list
This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.
API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 99.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
This is correct.
Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.

the 503A/503B distinction is load-bearing, do not blur it

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.

The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.
