Where PharmacyLive sits in the 503A stack
Compounded medications for cash-pay clinics flow 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-facing portal layer on the pharmacy side — the software the compounder bought so doctors stop faxing. It does not compound medications, hold a pharmacy license, or sell to clinics as the primary customer.
This distinction matters when clinics evaluate their options. Questions about formulation quality, certificates of analysis, and state licensure point to the compounding pharmacy behind the portal. Questions about pricing visibility, multi-pharmacy batch checkout, and consistent UX across compounders point to whether a pharmacy-owned portal is enough — or whether your clinic needs a buyer-side layer above it.
