Understanding Compounded Medications

Our GLP-1 medications (semaglutide and tirzepatide) are compounded specifically for you by licensed 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies in accordance with FDA regulations under Sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.[3]

Once compounding begins, your medication is prepared to your prescribed specifications. This personalized preparation is why refunds become limited after the compounding process starts, in compliance with USP <797> standards for sterile compounding.[4]

After Medication Ships From Pharmacy

Once your medication has shipped from the pharmacy, refunds are not available. This policy applies to all orders regardless of delivery status.

This policy is mandated by the FDA and state pharmacy boards to ensure patient safety and prevent the redistribution of medications that may have been improperly stored or tampered with.[5]

The FDA Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) prohibits the return and resale of prescription medications once they have left the pharmacy, as there is no way to verify the integrity of returned medications.[6]

Medical Disqualification Refunds

Your health and safety are our top priorities. If our licensed healthcare providers determine that GLP-1 medication is not appropriate for you based on your medical history, current medications, or health conditions, you will receive a full refund for any unshipped medications.

Common reasons for medical disqualification may include:[7]

  • Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
  • Personal or family history of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
  • History of severe pancreatitis
  • Pregnancy or plans to become pregnant
  • Severe kidney disease (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m²)
  • History of severe allergic reactions to semaglutide or tirzepatide
  • Current use of other GLP-1 receptor agonists

If you are disqualified, our team will explain the reason and, where appropriate, suggest alternative approaches to your weight management goals.

Incorrect Orders

While we take great care to ensure accuracy in every order, mistakes can occasionally occur. If you receive a medication that does not match your prescription or order details, please follow the steps below.

If You Receive an Incorrect Order

  • Do not use any medication that was not prescribed to you
  • Contact us immediately at [email protected] with your order details
  • We will provide a prepaid return label for the incorrect medication
  • The correct medication will be shipped to you promptly at no additional cost

Our team will work quickly to resolve any order discrepancies and ensure you receive the correct medication as prescribed by your provider.

Temperature Excursions

Temperature excursion guidelines for compounded medications are established by the medication manufacturer based on comprehensive stability testing data specific to each formulation. These guidelines define the acceptable temperature ranges during storage and transit to ensure the medication remains safe, stable, and effective for patient use.

At Fifty 410, we strictly adhere to the manufacturer's temperature excursion guidelines for all compounded medications we dispense. Our pharmacy partners utilize validated cold chain shipping methods, including insulated packaging and temperature monitoring devices, to maintain proper conditions throughout the entire delivery process.

We maintain detailed temperature records for all shipments and are committed to full transparency regarding medication handling. If you have questions about the temperature history of your medication during transit, we are happy to provide this documentation upon request. Simply contact us at [email protected] with your order number to request temperature data for your shipment.[8]
