someone explain 503B to me like I have not read a paper in years

Nothing in this thread is medical advice, and the choice between arrangements is one for you and a prescriber who knows your history.

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.

Adding one thing — ask for the facility name. Most will give it, and the ones that will not have answered you.
the pharmacy and the prescriber are two separate questions
Who is the prescriber, and are they the same organisation as the pharmacy?

Small fix — 503B facilities register with the regulator; 503A pharmacies are licensed by the state board. Different mechanisms.
503A is patient-specific, 503B is outsourcing facility, they are not the same thing
What concentration is on the label, and does it match what you were expecting?
Disagreeing with this bit: registration is not equivalence, and the two get run together constantly.
