Find care / Check the supplying pharmacy
Which pharmacy is supplying the medicine?
Get the pharmacy's name, then check its record. A service name on a web page leaves the pharmacy question unanswered.
Identify the maker and the sender
People getting medicine online may not know who made it, FDA warned in information checked on September 17, 2026.
A compounder is a pharmacist, physician or registered facility that makes a medicine to order.
Ask the service to give the actual maker's name and the supplying pharmacy's name. Use those names in the state search.
Check the Colorado permission
Pharmacies outside Colorado had to register with Colorado before sending prescription medicines into the state (September 26, 2026).
A large facility outside Colorado that makes medicines to order in batches is called a 503B outsourcing facility. It needed a separate Colorado registration to send those medicines into the state (September 26, 2026). Ask whether this facility made your medicine and get its name if it did.
Colorado's lookup included pharmacy credentials, as checked on September 26, 2026.
If the search does not settle the match, ask the board about the specific record. Ask the pharmacy to explain any name difference.
Registration does not approve the medicine
Being registered with FDA did not show that a medicine maker or its products were approved (September 26, 2026).
FDA does not approve health-care offices or laboratories, as recorded on September 26, 2026.
Ask separately about the product being prescribed and the reason for using it. A statement about registration cannot replace that explanation.
