FDA Watch for CompoundingRead daily from FDA & the California Board of Pharmacy · for 503A & 503B

Compounding recalls, warning letters, and board actions, read for you each morning.

FDA Watch reads FDA recall announcements the day they post, the drug recalls that follow, FDA warning letters, FDA’s compounding inspection actions (Form 483s and untitled letters), changes to FDA’s drug shortage list, and California Board of Pharmacy actions, then emails you only what touches compounding — scored by severity and explained in plain English. No ingredient list to build or maintain.

No charge for 14 days · No watchlist needed

Powered by official public data: FDA recall announcements, openFDA drug recalls, FDA warning letters, FDA’s compounding inspections page (Form 483s, untitled letters), FDA’s drug shortage list, and California Board of Pharmacy accusations and disciplinary actions against compounding licensees.

An industry feed, not a keyword list.

Compounding risk doesn’t fit in a list of ingredients. It’s sterility and endotoxin failures, GLP-1 enforcement, and what regulators do to pharmacies like yours. FDA Watch starts from a compounding profile, so you’re covered on day one.

  1. We start from the compounding profile

    503A and 503B, outsourcing facilities, sterile compounding, GLP-1s — built in. Add your own APIs or suppliers if you want them flagged too.

  2. AI reads every record

    Each morning we pull new FDA recall announcements, drug recalls, warning letters, 483s, shortage list changes, and board actions, and judge whether each one matters to a compounder — not keyword matches.

  3. You get only what matters

    A short email with what happened, why it matters to a compounder, and a severity flag. A board accusation is labelled as an allegation, not a finding. Quiet days mean a quiet inbox.

FDA already emails recalls for free. Here’s what it doesn’t do.

FDA’s alerts are official and free, but they’re built around topics and keywords, not around a compounding pharmacy. This is the difference.

FDA Watch surfaces publicly available FDA and state board records for informational purposes only. Recalls, warning letters, and board actions are records, not adjudicated findings; a board accusation is an allegation, and a Form 483 lists inspection observations, not a final finding of violation. This is not legal, medical, or regulatory advice — verify against the primary source before acting.
