Beyond-use dating (BUD) for compounded supply compounded products:
Lyophilized (unreconstituted): typically 9 months from compounding date
Reconstituted with BAC water: typically 28-30 days refrigerated
Reconstituted with sterile water: typically 7 days (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.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.
Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads.
Compounding pharmacy response time test for compounded supply: I email customer service at odd hours to test responsiveness. A pharmacy that can't answer questions promptly is a red flag.
My current pharmacy: average response time same day. They answered my questions about sterility testing thoroughly and professionally.
Communication quality is a proxy for operational quality. A pharmacy that communicates well is likely manufacturing well too.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction. Posting only so the count is not one.

Compounding pharmacy red flag checklist for compounded supply — if ANY of these apply, find a different source:
- No verifiable physical address
- No pharmacist available for consultation
- COA not available or clearly template/fake
- Prices dramatically below market ($30-40/month = suspicious)
- No prescription required
- Ships without cold pack or temperature control
- No batch/lot numbers on product labeling
- Pushes "research use only" products for human injection
Your health depends on product quality. Don't cut corners on source verification.
