Directory: State Boards of Pharmacy (compounding pharmacies)
State Boards of Pharmacy regulate 503a compounding pharmacies. If you order compounded tirzepatide, semaglutide, or liraglutide from a 503a pharmacy, it’s important to first research that pharmacy. Use this directory of state Boards of Pharmacy to find the number or website for the state that has jurisdiction over your pharmacy. Then, contact the BOP to check that it’s licensed with no disciplinary reports on file. You’ll find phone numbers and website URLs for these BOPs below.
Always talk with your doctor before switching medications or considering a compounding pharmacy.
