…over our years here, I think there are few issues that have generated more discussion than the question of brandname meds vs. compounded alternatives. People have had, and probably continue to have, differing opinions.

However, the downside is that compounded products are not inspected nor regulated in the same manner as FDA-approved pharmaceutical products, and as Marissa has pointed out above, some past studies have shown some dosage/efficacy irregularities in certain compounded trilostane products. So that remains somewhat of a worry to me. And for this reason, I think the reputation of any given compounder is especially important to investigate.
