Is “Enclomiphene Citrate” going to replace hCG in the USA?

[jacb]

Does anyone know if En-Clofert and Androxal are in reality equivalent products?

The FDA is obviously an American Institution that effects American Compouding Pharmacies.

I note that the UK now has Compounding Pharmacies Eg Specialist Pharmacy.

What is the current British ruling regarding Compounding Pharmacies producing hCG and or Enclomiphene Citrate?

I do know that EnCyzix in the EU was refused marketing permission LINK

The FDA action has no bearing on research chemicals.

Strate Labs is an Analytical and Research Chemical provider for Chemists, Research Enthusiasts, and Lab Technicians.​

Forgive my ignorance…. But what stops somebody claiming they are a “Research Enthusiast“. Buying the Enclomiphene powder and pressing it into 12.5mg tablets? isn’t that exactly what compounding pharmacy's were doing?

No, compounding pharmacies are preparing medications for human use and must follow pretty strict regulations, which include inspections and monitoring. This adds significantly to the cost. Research chemicals cannot legally be offered for human use and standards for preparation and purity are up to the vendor. Strate Labs seems to be relatively casual about the "human use" part, as they mention having athletes among their customers. They may receive a nasty letter from the FDA sooner or later. Other research chemical outfits have prominent disclaimers against in vivo use, which isn't necessarily a viable defense. The system works for now, but if there are any high profile instances of harm then the government will feel obligated to step in.
