PharmacyLive COA and pharmacy documentation

PharmacyLive COA and pharmacy documentation

Certificates of analysis, lot numbers, and compounding documentation come from the compounding pharmacy that fulfills your order — not from PharmacyLive as a software vendor. PharmacyLive provides prescriber portal workflow, order tracking, and document upload for labs and supporting files, but COA issuance is a pharmacy compliance function. Clinics should ask their compounder how to obtain COA per order or per lot, how long records are retained, and whether documentation can be exported from the portal or provided on request.

This page explains where documentation responsibility sits and what to request from your compounder.

Proudly Partnered With

Who provides COA when you order through a PharmacyLive portal?

A certificate of analysis documents potency, purity, and sterility testing for a compounded lot. The compounding pharmacy that made the medication issues COA — portal software routes the order but does not perform testing or generate pharmacy compliance documents. PharmacyLive's prescriber portal supports uploading labs and supporting documents from the clinic side and tracks order workflow status, but obtaining COA for fulfilled compounds is a question for your compounder's QA process. Define this in writing before high-volume GLP-1, hormone, or peptide ordering.
