    Compounding Pharmacy

    I saw a post a couple of days ago where someone ordered their gear through the sponser (oasis) and had a question. Oasis and all of the HRT outfits that I know of in Florida all have there gear sent from a compounding pharmacy. for some reason south Florida has a ton of these places. Anyway I have ordered from them and several people that I know have ordered from these types of places in south FL which Oasis is one of and when you get the bottles the label is about as homemade looking as it gets. The box the bottle comes in looks pretty good and has your name and dr. name and all that stuff on it but the vials themselves freak me out. I mean the label looks to be your typical return address label from an office supply store and it is printed on an inkjet printer! Sometimes the printing is a little off and so on. Does not have your name on the bottle just says what it is and has an exp. date along with the pharmacy logo.
    Anyway just wondering what ya'll think about that. Everybody that I know of has been happy so maybe just worried about nothing but hate to think that those that ordered from these companies are paying for gear and getting vials of cooking oil instead.
    I did speak with a guy from Oasis and asked him which pharmacy they use and why everybody seems to send there stuff from the same place and he said that the pharmacy they use (signature, which is the same as what the all use in FL) is one of the largest in the us and is ocated in FL so all there FL orders are from this one Pharmacy. Well it seems like if you are one of the largest in the US you would have a little better label than and address label poorly printed on an inkjet.

    I was told by the consultant that the pharmacy that they use depends on where you live. Like I said everybody that I know of has been very happy the label thing just freaked me out a bit and was wondering if there is a difference in using a compounding pharmacy or getting the name brand stuff with a name brand label on it.
    This is my first cycle and just started it on Monday so have not felt the effects as of yet to be able to tell anything for sure.

    I am on the East Coast, so you would think it would be easier to come from FLA.....oh well....

    What compounds are you running and what doses?
    Certain compounds take up to 6-8 weeks to fully kick in

    400mg Test Cyp 200mg Deca. I am hoping to start feeling it kick in in maybe another week or so. They told me that it wouldn't really start taking effect for 7-14 days.

    Like I said my bottles look just 2 other peoples that I know and 1 of them has been doing business through another HRT comany for a couple of years and they ship through Signature as well. Would like to see one of those bottles from engfire though.

    If using less-than-professional labels allows them to lower prices or help their profits so they stay in business - then I am fine with it. I just want the stuff to be sterile and legit - which it always is!

    I get all my stuff from signature as well.... All there Shiat has been great!!! The lables are not great.....but it's what's inside that counts!! I was told that depending on what you get is where they ship it from. But almost everything comes from Florida. My buddy ordered Primobolan and they had to get it from England for him. He just got it today!! I guess they dont sell that here in the US.
    Quick question what is the highest doses you have been able to get them to write you...... I was able to get 200mgs a week of test and deca, would like to bump the dosage in the future!!

    I doubt that saving 5 cents by going with a cheap lable is really going to make a difference in final price when the total cost involved in a 10cc vial of test e 250 is about 5 bucks, at the most. Especially when these places are charging as much as they are.

    I disagree. I believe your estimate of 5 cents is light, however you can multiple that by the total number off ALL units using the paper across their compunding facilities. Let's say that they ship 1,000,000 units. That would be a generalized savings of $50,000. They do the same thing for plastic pill containers and every other supply cost. As long as form, fit and function are equivilent, then it shouldn't matter. My point is, in the end, if it is sterile and legit, I am happy. If you need a glossy label to make you feel better about the product, then you are too concerned with packaging. The true cost of compounding pharmacies is related to facility and labor costs. Compare them against a UGL and you'll see a huge fixed and variable expense differential.

    That is what I wanted to hear. I don't give a damn what the label looks like to be honest, I just want to make sure the product is what it is and I was fairly sure of that from my freinds but I have this habit of beating a dead horse sometimes. I also figured that alot of you guys on here have a ton more experience that my gym buddies probably do. So that was my point if you guys say the gear is what it is supposed to be, don't worry about the cheesy labels than cool I will be at peace with the situation and just wait for my juice to kick in. I mean in all reality who really care what the label looks like if the stuff is real, write on the bottle with a sharpie just make sure my Shite is real.
