Prescription describes access under a prescriber’s authority. It does not mean every proposed use has the same evidence.

Compounded describes preparation for a patient-specific need. It is not the same as a mass-marketed authorized finished product.

Investigational means a product or use remains under study. Participation in a regulated clinical trial is different from buying a product marketed as “research use only.”

Ask which category applies, why, and what safeguards follow from it.
