From the other side of the consultation, briefly. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use.

Coming at Dr.PulmRoch’s question from a different direction. The shortage clause is the answer to the second question and it is a subtraction rather than an addition. Both exemptions forbid compounding something that is essentially a copy of a commercially available approved product. A product FDA has listed as in shortage is not treated as commercially available, so listing removed the objection that otherwise blocked compounding. It never created a permission; it withdrew a prohibition, which is why it evaporated the moment the supply fact changed.

Happy to go further on any of that.
Following on from Dr.PulmRoch — and this may be the naive question:
What actually distinguishes 503A from 503B, in terms of what each may make and from what starting material?
