How can I check the people involved?

Where does the clinician’s record live?

A state medical board keeps doctors’ licence records and public disciplinary information.

The medical-board federation has a directory that links to the state boards themselves.

• Match the full name to the record.
• Read the current licence status and any public action.
• If the title is not doctor, ask which professional board holds that person’s licence.

Some states split doctors’ licensing across separate boards, so ask which register applies.

How do I check the pharmacy?

Pharmacy licensing sits with a separate state board of pharmacy.

To reach those records, use the state searches linked by the FDA, short for Food and Drug Administration.

For shipments across state borders, most states also require licensing in the destination state (as of September 26, 2026).

A licence entry confirms licensing; it does not establish that a particular prescription or preparation is appropriate.

What if the name stays unclear?

Ask again for the exact name of the place that would prepare and send the medicine. Keep that question open until there is a name to check.
