Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction. Nothing to add that would improve it.
One thing that is still open after Dr.ObesityMed’s answer:
What did you change at the same time, and can you separate the two now?

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.

Beyond-use dating (BUD) for compounded supply compounded products:
Lyophilized (unreconstituted): typically 12 months from compounding date
Reconstituted with BAC water: typically 28-30 days refrigerated
Reconstituted with sterile water: typically 48 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.
