Five free databases settle whether a provider is what it says. All five need one thing first
Released: ·Last reviewed: ·Methodology v4.1
State board registers, FDA warning letters, the 503B list and openFDA recalls are searchable by company name — so a provider that will not name its pharmacy has ended the conversation.
Every independent check available to a buyer is searchable by pharmacy name. That makes the name the gate: without it, four of the five public checks cannot be run at all.
Two phrases worth recognising while you ask. "FDA-approved pharmacy" describes something that does not exist — the FDA approves drugs, not pharmacies, and does not approve compounded preparations from any facility. "Pharmaceutical grade" is not a regulatory category.
Full sequence: how to verify a provider.
