[Discussion] the compounding advice in here is 2 years out of date
the compounding advice in here is 2 years out of date. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here.

Concentration on the compounded vial was different from what I had been using and I nearly did the arithmetic on autopilot.
the API source is the question nobody asks and everybody should
Asked for the beyond-use date basis and got a real answer with a stability reference attached. Not universal, apparently.
