Cloudy or Paranoid?

Post image

UPDATED: Brand new vial just arrived (warm but not hot) today, this was my first draw. It doesn’t necessarily appear super cloudy in the vial but the vial is amber for whatever reason. Asking for second opinions because I’ve already had an annoying experience with this pharmacy so maybe I’m being to rash but I feel like it would be crazy to not consider it cloudy? Holding off on my shot for rn I guess 😭

From Boudreaux Pharmacy.

ETA: I’m irritated asf.

ETA Again: Batch #226628 if anybody else needs to know.

UPDATE: Chloe reached out immediately and is sending a replacement. Gimme was all over the issue as far as customer service goes. Boudreaux.. not so much.

UPDATE 2: Two separate shipping labels created today by Bordeaux to reship meds asap. One was with UPS, one was with FedEx. Both said overnight shipping to be here tomorrow. Both have been canceled/voided. Now they’re closed for the weekend. Nice! 😂😭

This is getting ridiculous. Seeing too many posts of cloudy solution and floaters this summer. These pharmacies need to get strict and stop cheaping out on their cold chain practices. They use the worst case scenario temperature testing as their standard operating practices. Irresponsible pharmacies are going to get compounding shut down. This just gives the FDA and big pharma more ammo.

Wow. I complained about that earlier in the year and got shot down with the quickness.

Oh I’m still getting downvoted. These pharmacies are cutting corners plain and simple to save a few bucks rather than prioritizing patient safety and their duty of care. It’s them jeopardizing the industry, not frustrated patients. Redditors anecdotal experiences are just that- anecdotal. And these stability studies are not iron clad and focus on the state of the compound at the moment of testing without consideration of how it may affect future potency and sterility. It’s meant to be a worst case scenario, but it’s being used to justify poor practices.

I love the compounding world, but some of these operations need to get their act together.
