why does nobody talk about telehealth
Genuine question, and the title is the question: why does nobody talk about telehealth.
Asked for potency testing on the finished preparation. They had it. I had assumed they would not.
Kept the label from every vial. When the shortage status changed, having the paper trail made the conversation much shorter.
Paid noticeably more at one clinic than another for what turned out to be the same facility behind both.
Happy to answer the boring questions. Those are usually the ones worth asking.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Potency and sterility testing on the finished preparation are separate from any certificate covering the starting material. Ask which you are being shown.
Disagree — a 503B being registered does not make its preparations equivalent to an approved product. Different regulatory category entirely.
Did they name the facility?

That figure is the starting material purity, not the finished preparation potency. Two different tests.
I would not read the price difference as a quality signal. Most of it is the consultation model, not the vial.
Salt form matters for mass: a preparation specified as one salt and dosed as the free base gives you a different amount of peptide for the same number on the label.
Added a jurisdiction tag — the answers to this question are completely different in different countries.
What is the beyond-use date and what is it based on?
the API source is the question nobody asks and everybody should

Adding one thing — ask for the facility name. Most will give it, and the ones that will not have answered you.
Push back: "compounded is fine because a pharmacy made it" skips every question this board exists to ask.
Asked for the beyond-use date basis and got a real answer with a stability reference attached. Not universal, apparently.
Correction: patient-specific refers to the prescription, not to a bespoke formulation. Common misreading and it changes the argument.
What concentration is on the label, and does it match what you were expecting?
Asked which facility and got a name straight away. Looked it up, found the registration, felt considerably better about the whole thing.
Switched between two compounded preparations and the concentration on the label was different. Redid the arithmetic on paper before drawing anything.
