From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
Compounding pharmacy licensing verification for compounded supply: before ordering, verify your pharmacy's credentials:
- State Board of Pharmacy license — check on your state BOP website
- FDA registration (for 503B) — check on fda.gov
- DEA registration if handling controlled substances
- PCAB accreditation — voluntary but demonstrates commitment to quality
- USP <797>/<800> compliance for sterile compounding
This takes 10 minutes of research and could save you from receiving substandard or unsafe medication.
A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:
Did your prescriber agree with that reading, and if not what was their objection?

Beyond-use dating (BUD) for compounded supply compounded products:
Lyophilized (unreconstituted): typically 6 months from compounding date
Reconstituted with BAC water: typically 28-30 days refrigerated
Reconstituted with sterile water: typically 24 hours (no preservative!)
Always use BAC water for multi-dose vials. Sterile water has no preservative and supports bacterial growth after first puncture. This is a common and potentially dangerous mistake.

FDA inspection results for compounding pharmacies selling compounded supply: you can look up any 503B facility's FDA inspection history on the FDA website.
Check for: Form 483 observations (violations), warning letters, and recall history. A clean inspection record is a strong indicator of quality. My pharmacy has had 1 Form 483 observations in their last 2 inspections.
