[QUOTE="Jasen Bruce, post: 18683, member: 14"] Great questions Pacman I know I have posted some info before on BUD but could not locate it. The BUD has everything to do with recent enforcement (and updates) in USP797 which governs all sterile injectables. In the recent past, a compounding pharmacy could rely on previous established BUD as long as the formula was identical to the previously established formula. Now, 10% of every batch must be sent to a third party (govt approved) testing facility prior to being dispensed. BUD is established once the testing facility sits on the medication for 30, 60, 90, days etc and at those intervals if sterility and potency still pass, than they can allow a BUD up to that date. The reason for the variance in BUDs between pharmacies is because as these regulations recently updated, pharmacies are catching up on testing product to establish BUD. 4 months means that is the length of time that batch of cypionate has been confirmed to remain potent and sterile. Some pharmacies may have longer BUDs while others shorter, depending on how long the lab tested them. It costs the pharmacy not only to test each batch, but also in the time and product lost while waiting for the test results allowing them to move forward. Some more uncommon injectables may only have a BUD of 3 days on it, this just means the pharmacy has not yet paid or it to be tested therefore the default is 3 day dating. Its annoying especially when you know the injectable is good for much longer and it has been used for years safely. On the flip side its also for our safety because there was bad pharmacies cutting corners and not properly testing injectables to save money, or increase turn around time. Now you know you will consistently get a potent and sterile medication from any pharmacy in the US. [/QUOTE]
