Calgary compounding pharmacies — 12 month update

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice.

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.

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

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.
