In the USA, the FDA is proposing to limit interstate shipment of
compounded prescription medications, I learned on another list. I was
afraid/hoped that this report was a hoax, but it seems to be real. I
turned up these two websites on the issue (FDA - Docket No.
98N-1265):

My first thought was how this might affect those of us who need to
get especially compounded gf prescriptions from places like Stokes
Pharmacy in New Jersey. According to the people who reported this FDA
proposal, the public has until March 22, 1999 to comment.

I'll be happy to forward the 2 reports on the matter to those who are
interested. If anybody knows more about this, please comment.

Good luck and good health!
