What you are searching
The FDA keeps an inspection record for every outsourcing facility registered under section 503B: when it last inspected the facility, whether the investigator issued a Form 483, whether a recall followed, and what action the agency took next. That record is published as one long page. This searches it, facility by facility, and links the FDA's own documents where the agency has posted them. For the far larger number of compounding pharmacies licensed by a state board instead, it points you to the board — the only place that licence exists.
Not on the list? Check the state board
Most compounding pharmacies are 503A pharmacies. They compound for individual patients on individual prescriptions and answer to their state board of pharmacy, not the FDA. Several of the most-searched compounding pharmacies in the country are 503A and will never appear in the lookup above. The board of pharmacy for the state on your label is the authoritative source for a 503A license, and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy maintains the directory of all of them. What separates the two kinds, in the statute's own words: 503A vs 503B.
Directory: NABP — Boards of Pharmacy. Where a board publishes data we can download at every build, this site carries the pharmacy's permit record too (methodology).

What the FDA's columns mean
| Column | What it records |
|---|---|
| Registration dates | When the facility first registered as a 503B outsourcing facility, and the most recent annual registration. |
| Last inspection | The date of the FDA's most recent inspection, or “Not yet inspected”. |
| Form 483 issued? | Whether the investigator issued a list of observations. Where the FDA posted the 483 itself, we link the document. |
| Recall conducted? | Whether the facility conducted a recall in connection with the inspection. |
| Action based on last inspection | The FDA's wording: “Open” (classification not yet final), a regulatory meeting, a warning letter, or its closeout. Linked where the FDA posted the letter. |
| Sterile from bulk | Whether the facility told the FDA it intends to compound sterile drugs from bulk drug substances. |

Common questions
Which pharmacies are in this lookup?
Every outsourcing facility registered with the FDA under section 503B of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as listed on the FDA's Registered Outsourcing Facilities page. That is the complete population of 503B facilities in the United States; there is no other list.
My pharmacy isn't here. What does that mean?
Usually that it is a 503A compounding pharmacy — licensed and inspected by its state board of pharmacy, not registered with the FDA. That describes most compounding pharmacies, including several of the largest telehealth fulfilment pharmacies. Look the name up with the board of pharmacy for the state on your label; we link every board below. Absence from this list is not evidence of anything except that the pharmacy is not a 503B facility.
What do the columns mean?
They are the FDA's own columns. Last inspection is the date of the most recent FDA inspection. Form 483 issued records whether the investigator left a list of observations. Recall conducted records whether the facility recalled product. Action based on last inspection is what the FDA did next — 'Open' means the classification is not yet final; a regulatory meeting or a warning letter is a further step. We reproduce the FDA's wording and link the underlying document where the FDA posted one.
How fresh is this data?
The register is re-downloaded from the FDA's page at every site build and stamped with the FDA's own update date — currently 2026-09-02. The FDA states it updates the list weekly. Between builds, the FDA's page is authoritative.
Does being on this list mean a facility is safe?
No, and we never say so. Registration means the facility has told the FDA it exists and is subject to FDA inspection under manufacturing standards. The inspection columns are where the information is. A facility with no 483 may simply not have been inspected yet — the register says that too.
