3. Pharmacy & Regulatory Compliance

QuakerRx's Role as a Dispensing Pharmacy

QuakerRx is a licensed dispensing pharmacy, not a compounding pharmacy. We receive compounded medications from our independent pharmacy partners and dispense them to patients through their prescribing providers. All compounding is performed by the 503A and 503B facilities themselves — QuakerRx does not formulate, mix, or compound any products.

503A Compounding Pharmacies

503A compounding pharmacies are state-licensed facilities that compound medications for individual patients based on a valid prescription from a licensed prescriber. Medications compounded under Section 503A are not FDA-approved drug products and have not been evaluated for safety, efficacy, or quality by the FDA in the same manner as commercially manufactured drugs.

503B Outsourcing Facilities

503B outsourcing facilities are FDA-registered facilities that compound medications in larger quantities without patient-specific prescriptions. While these facilities register with the FDA and are subject to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements, their compounded products are still not FDA-approved drug products.

Compounded Medication Disclaimer

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA has not verified the safety, effectiveness, or quality of compounded formulations. Patients and providers should understand that compounded medications carry different risk profiles than commercially manufactured and FDA-approved alternatives. All medical decisions regarding compounded medications must be made by a licensed healthcare provider.

4. Brand-Name Drug Non-Affiliation Disclaimer

QuakerRx references certain FDA-approved brand-name medications for informational context only. The following clarifications apply:

• Wegovy® and Ozempic® (semaglutide) are FDA-approved brand-name drugs exclusively manufactured and distributed by Novo Nordisk®. QuakerRx is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Novo Nordisk® or these products.
• Mounjaro® and Zepbound® (tirzepatide) are FDA-approved brand-name drugs exclusively manufactured and distributed by Eli Lilly and Company®. QuakerRx is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Eli Lilly and Company® or these products.
• Any compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, or related formulations dispensed by QuakerRx through our pharmacy partners are distinct compounded preparations and are not the same as, nor interchangeable with, the above brand-name FDA-approved drugs.
• All other brand names, trademarks, and registered marks mentioned on this site are the property of their respective owners. No affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement is implied.
