Check the claims
Where can a statement be checked?
Different sources answer different questions. Use the one that fits the statement you want to check.
For a claim about medicine review
The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, explains medicine approval and compounding. Preparing a custom medicine is called compounding.
As of September 26, 2026, a compounded preparation was not FDA-approved.
For a named approved medicine, read the label for that product and form.
For the licence or permit
A licence concerns the care professional. A pharmacy permit concerns the business that fills or prepares medicine.
MD and DO doctors have different Arizona licence searches. These websites were checked on October 3, 2026.
For a rule or a guidance statement
A statute is a law. Board guidance explains how a board views care standards. They are different kinds of source.
The Federation of State Medical Boards suggests care standards for state boards to use. Its advice is not itself a law. The legal requirements come from each state’s rules. The medical-board advice was checked on September 26, 2026.
For an enforcement letter
An FDA warning letter sets out problems the agency believes it found. It is not a final ruling. Later replies or work with FDA may change how the agency views those problems; contact alone does not prove they were fixed.
The warning-letter search was checked on September 17, 2026. Look for later replies or follow-up letters before drawing a conclusion. Finding no warning letter does not prove FDA checked and cleared a business.
