How AffinityRx vets Strive Pharmacy
AffinityRx vets every compounding pharmacy for clinics, and only 9% of the pharmacies AffinityRx reviews pass. Strive Pharmacy is one of the pharmacies that passed.
AffinityRx reviews each pharmacy in five areas:
- Compliance: state licensures, USP <795>, <797> and <800>, and certifications such as LegitScript, PCAB, ACHC and NABP.
- Product: third-party certificates of analysis (COAs), sterility and endotoxin testing, and beyond-use dates.
- Track record: Form 483s, recalls, FDA actions and the pharmacist-in-charge background.
- Market feedback: clinic and patient ratings and reviews, and Reddit threads.
- Operations: shipping times, stock and cold-chain validation.
Public credentials such as license numbers and accreditation proof are published on this profile, and backing documents such as COAs are available to clinics on request.
Warning letters and recalls
If Strive Pharmacy receives an FDA warning letter or recall, AffinityRx notifies clinics and updates this profile. Clinics can switch Strive Pharmacy off in their AffinityRx portal at any time.
Favorites and failover
Clinics pick a pharmacy at checkout, or pre-set a primary pharmacy plus second and third favorites. If the primary pharmacy is out of stock or rejects an order, AffinityRx reroutes it to the next favorite within 1–2 minutes. Prescriber re-sign is the default; turning on auto re-sign removes that step. Read how this works on the backorders page, and see how AffinityRx compares with other compounding pharmacy marketplaces.
