Mine went the same way, slower. Nothing to add that would improve it.

Compounding pharmacy licensing verification for compounded supply: before ordering, verify your pharmacy's credentials:

  1. State Board of Pharmacy license — check on your state BOP website
  2. FDA registration (for 503B) — check on fda.gov
  3. DEA registration if handling controlled substances
  4. PCAB accreditation — voluntary but demonstrates commitment to quality
  5. USP <797>/<800> compliance for sterile compounding

This takes 10 minutes of research and could save you from receiving substandard or unsafe medication.

Price comparison for compounded supply across sources I've used:

SourceMonthly CostTypePurity Verified
Brand (Ozempic)$904FDA-approvedN/A (pharma)
503B Compounding$134cGMP compoundedYes (in-house)
503A Compounding$94Patient-specificVaries
Research peptide$44Not for human useOften Janoshik

I use the 503B option — best balance of quality, cost, and legality. The brand price is insane but insurance can help if you qualify.

One thing that is still open after pete_nash’s answer:

How long did you give it before you decided it was working?

GMP compliance checklist relevant to compounded supply compounding quality:

  • Clean room environment with HEPA filtration
  • Environmental monitoring (viable and non-viable)
  • Personnel training and competency assessment
  • Validated analytical methods for testing
  • Stability testing program
  • Complete batch records and traceability
  • Quality management system with deviation handling

A 503B pharmacy following cGMP should be able to answer questions about ALL of these if you ask. Don't be afraid to ask — it's your health.
