How We Verify Facilities
When a compounding facility claims to produce or sell a tracked compound, we verify these factors before listing it. No facility is verified yet — this page explains what the process looks like.
Legal entity resolution
Who actually owns and operates the facility? We resolve brand names, DBAs, and websites to the registered legal entity. A clinic's marketing name may differ from its corporate entity.
Physical facility verification
Where is the actual compounding done? We verify the physical address, not just a mailing address or website. The compounding must happen at a real, inspectable location.
State licenses
Does the facility hold a valid pharmacy license in its state? Is it in good standing? We check the state board of pharmacy records. Different states have different requirements for compounding.
503A or 503B registration
Is the facility a traditional pharmacy (503A) or an FDA-registered outsourcing facility (503B)? This determines which federal rules apply and what oversight exists. Learn about 503A vs 503B.
Inspection and action history
Has the facility been inspected by the FDA or state board? Are there warning letters, recalls, or enforcement actions? We check FDA inspection records and state disciplinary actions.
Exact form and route claims
Does the facility's claim about a compound match what it's actually licensed to produce? A facility may be licensed for one form (e.g., topical) but not another (e.g., injectable).
Facility verification is a future feature. The API endpoint at /api/facilities/verify returns the required checks for any query. Real facility dossiers require verified source data from FDA and state boards.
