Understanding the Reports
Your obesity medicine provider plays a major role in shaping the course of your weight loss journey and long-term health. Our care team at Mochi Health does not take this responsibility lightly, especially when it comes to the pharmaceutical treatments we supply. Patients not only deserve effective treatments but also peace of mind regarding their safety and quality.
We recognize the concerns raised by the recent Washington Department of Health (DOH) press release about Aequita Pharmacy. The DOH has not issued a recall for medications already dispensed, and there were no direct issues with the quality or safety of any medications shipped or produced. We are reassured that their primary concerns were related to reporting structures and other operational matters. Even so, we will not resume work with Aequita Pharmacy until the DOH confirms full compliance and provides a clean bill of health for their operations.
At our request, Aequita Pharmacy provided testing data for recent medication batches. To uphold transparency and patient confidence, we are readily making these reports publicly available. These batches underwent rigorous third-party testing and successfully passed all established standards for sterility and safety.
Transparency is key to trust, and we hope this update brings clarity and reassurance to all those we serve.
Accessing the Reports
This folder contains all Certificate of Analysis reports for all recent batches of medication supplied by Aequita Pharmacy to Mochi Health patients.
To find the results for your specific batch of medication, search the folder for your Lot Number. This 10-character identification number is listed directly on your vial.
Reports are listed in one of two formats, depending on whether the tests were conducted by Prompt Praxis Laboratories or ARL Bio Pharma. Prompt Praxis Laboratories provides four tests in one Certificate of Analysis. Reports from ARL Bio Pharma solely provide sterility testing data.
Understanding the Reports
Each batch of compounded medication must be evaluated by a testing laboratory that provides analytical and microbiological testing for compounding pharmacies. A series of rigorous tests are done on each batch of medication across four key components: sterility, potency, endotoxin levels, and stability. The testing results enable the pharmacy team to verify that all batches meet all the specification requirements for drug safety. This process ensures that patients never receive vials from a batch outside the safe range for each component.
Here’s a deeper dive into the critical components of the testing report:
Sterility Testing
Sterility testing is essential to confirm that our compounded medications are free from contaminating microorganisms. This test involves culturing samples from the batch under controlled conditions to detect microbial contamination. Ensuring sterility is crucial for preventing infections and ensuring patient safety.
Potency Testing
Potency testing measures the concentration of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in our compounded medications. This test verifies that the medication contains the correct amount of API as specified in the prescription. Accurate potency is vital to ensure therapeutic efficacy and to avoid underdosing or overdosing, which could lead to inadequate treatment or adverse effects.
Endotoxin Testing
Endotoxins are toxic substances produced by bacteria that can cause reactions if present in medications. It is important to test for both sterility and endotoxins, as endotoxins can still be present even in compounded medications that have passed the sterility test. Endotoxin testing involves assessing the level of these substances to ensure they are within acceptable limits, in which the presence of endotoxins is negligible and completely safe. At these extremely low levels, the risk of injection site inflammation is significantly minimized.
Stability
The stability test evaluates how well the formulation maintains its original properties and effectiveness over time. It assesses various properties over specified time periods and storage conditions, ensuring the product meets the established standards for shelf life. Ultimately, stability testing ensures that patients receive a consistent and reliable product from the time of compounding to its Beyond Use Date.
