Where PharmacyLive sits in the 503A stack
Compounded medications for cash-pay clinics move through a defined stack: the prescriber writes the order, an ordering interface routes it, a 503A compounding pharmacy makes it, and a carrier ships it to the patient. PharmacyLive occupies the prescriber portal layer on the pharmacy side — software the compounder bought so doctors stop faxing. It is not the clinic's ordering layer and not the pharmacy fulfillment system itself, though it can integrate with systems like PioneerRx on intake.
Because PharmacyLive is pharmacy-side, its boundaries are clear: catalog depth, pricing, branding, and feature configuration belong to the deploying pharmacy. Compounding quality, certificates of analysis, fill times, and state licensure belong to that same pharmacy. Clinics inherit whatever their compounder configured — which is why multi-compounder practices often need a buyer-side layer above individual portals.
