Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction. Posting only so the count is not one.

Beyond-use dating (BUD) for compounded supply compounded products:
Lyophilized (unreconstituted): typically 6 months from compounding date
Reconstituted with BAC water: typically 28-30 days refrigerated
Reconstituted with sterile water: typically 24 hours (no preservative!)
Always use BAC water for multi-dose vials. Sterile water has no preservative and supports bacterial growth after first puncture. This is a common and potentially dangerous mistake.

Compounding pharmacy response time test for compounded supply: I email customer service at odd hours to test responsiveness. A pharmacy that can't answer questions promptly is a red flag.
My current pharmacy: average response time same day. They answered my questions about sterility testing thoroughly and professionally.
Communication quality is a proxy for operational quality. A pharmacy that communicates well is likely manufacturing well too.

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. Filing an objection on the n=1 problem. Personal experience is genuine evidence about one person and very weak evidence about anybody else, and this thread keeps promoting the first into the second.
