Empower Pharmacy Verification and Monitoring Profile
Federal 503B registration status for Empower Pharmacy, checked against the complete FDA register, with the open fields that remain.
Empower Pharmacy appears on FDA's registered outsourcing facility list under two registered site entries: Empower Pharma (Houston, TX), Empower Clinic Services New Jersey (East Windsor, NJ). Registration is a federal filing, not FDA approval, and not a finding of CGMP compliance. FDA's register records inspections at 1 facility under this name, most recently 2025-11-14, with a Form 483 issued at 1 of them. A Form 483 records investigator observations, not a final agency finding.

Federal registration status
Two separately registered Empower facilities appear on the list. Registration and inspection are facility specific, so each site stands on its own record. The consumer-facing Empower Pharmacy 503A operation is a distinct entity from these registrations.
Registration and inspections are facility specific. Facilities under common ownership and control are inspected individually. Before purchasing, FDA advises determining that the specific facility in which the drugs are compounded is an outsourcing facility with a satisfactory inspection. FDA

What this means
- Empower Pharmacy holds 2 registration entries on FDA's published list.
- The registered legal name and site location are stated as published by FDA.
- Registration and inspection are facility specific, so each site stands alone.
What this does not mean
- That this entity is compliant, safe, or non-compliant — none is asserted.
- That federal registration constitutes approval or a CGMP finding.
- That registration indicates a satisfactory inspection — FDA states it does not.
FDA inspection record for Empower Pharmacy
FDA publishes inspection information per facility at the listed address. Empower Pharmacy has 1 registered facility on the register, and the record below is reproduced from FDA's published columns as captured on 2026-07-23.
FDA states that 'Closed' means an inspection was closed without further action and 'Open' means FDA has not made a determination as to whether further action will be taken. Inspection information applies to the facility at the listed address, and one company may operate several registered facilities with different histories.
| Registered facility | Location | Most recent inspection | Form 483 issued | Action | Detail |

- The inspection date, Form 483 issuance and action status are reproduced as FDA publishes them.
- Each facility record stands alone, because FDA inspects facilities individually.
What this does not mean
- That a Form 483 is a final agency finding — it records investigator observations.
- That an 'Open' status is an adverse finding — it means no determination has yet been made.
- That this record covers 503A pharmacies, state licensure, or any facility not on the federal register.
What can and cannot be established about Empower Pharmacy today?
Verification of a compounding entity runs across two separate systems that do not talk to each other. The federal system covers outsourcing facilities only: registration, CGMP inspection, Form 483 observations, warning letters and recalls. The state system covers licensure, scope of permitted compounding, and discipline — and it is the only system that covers 503A pharmacies at all.
For Empower Pharmacy, the federal side is settled at this snapshot: registered 503b outsourcing facility. The state side is not, and that is where the remaining evidentiary weight sits.
| Question | System that answers it | Status for this entity |
|---|---|---|
| Is it federally registered as a 503B facility? | FDA outsourcing facility register | 503B Registration Verified |
| Is its state pharmacy licence current? | State board of pharmacy | Verification Pending |
| Is it permitted to compound sterile preparations? | State board permit class | Verification Pending |
| Has FDA inspected it, and what was found? | FDA inspection records | Verification Pending |
| Are there Form 483 observations? | FDA inspection records | Verification Pending |
| Is there an active warning letter? | FDA warning letter database | Verification Pending |
| Any current or historical recalls? | FDA enforcement reports | Verification Pending |
| Any state disciplinary action? | State board orders | Verification Pending |
Why 2 separate entries matter
Empower Pharmacy appears 2 times on the federal register because registration is per facility, not per company. Registration and inspections are facility specific. Facilities under common ownership and control are inspected individually. Before purchasing, FDA advises determining that the specific facility in which the drugs are compounded is an outsourcing facility with a satisfactory inspection. FDA
The practical consequence is that a finding at one site — an inspection outcome, a 483, a recall — describes that site and not the others. Reporting a company-level conclusion from a single-facility record is one of the most common errors in this sector, and this platform does not make it.
What a buyer should do with this record
This page settles one question and names the records that settle the rest. It is a starting point for verification, not a substitute for it.
If a programme names Empower Pharmacy as its dispensing pharmacy, the next step is the state board register — that confirms whether the licence is current today, which no snapshot can. Then, if a 503B claim is made, confirm it against the FDA register directly rather than accepting the claim.
FDA inspection record, facility by facility
FDA publishes inspection information per facility at the listed address. Empower Pharmacy has 1 registered facility on the register, and the record below reproduces FDA's published columns as captured 2026-07-23.
Two terms carry specific meanings and are routinely misreported. A Form 483 lists observations made by the investigator at the close of an inspection — it is not a final agency determination, and the firm has an opportunity to respond. An action status of ‘Open’ means FDA has not yet decided whether further action will be taken; it records the absence of a decision, not the presence of a finding.
Registration and inspections are facility specific. Facilities under common ownership and control are inspected individually. Before purchasing, FDA advises determining that the specific facility in which the drugs are compounded is an outsourcing facility with a satisfactory inspection. FDA
| Registered facility | Location | Most recent inspection | Form 483 issued | Action | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

- That a record at one facility describes another under the same ownership.
- Sourced from FDA's published table as captured 2026-07-23; FDA updates it weekly.

What remains open for Empower Pharmacy
Empower Pharmacy's federal register position is settled at this snapshot. What is not settled is everything held by state boards: the licence itself, its number and expiry, nonresident licensure, and any disciplinary record. Those sit with the board in each state where it operates.
To determine whether a registered outsourcing facility has been the subject of a state enforcement action, FDA directs the public to check with the State Board of Pharmacy for the state in which the facility is located. FDA

Frequently asked questions
Is Empower Pharmacy a registered 503B outsourcing facility?
Yes. It appears on FDA's register as Empower Pharma (Houston, TX), Empower Clinic Services New Jersey (East Windsor, NJ).
How many registered sites does Empower Pharmacy operate?
2 appear on the current list. FDA inspects facilities individually, so a record at one site does not describe another.
Does registration mean FDA approved Empower Pharmacy?
No. Registration means FDA received the required filing and the annual establishment fee was paid. It is not approval and not a finding of CGMP compliance.
Has Empower Pharmacy been inspected by FDA?
Not verified on this page. FDA publishes inspection dates and status on its register; sector-wide, a substantial share of newly registered facilities had not been inspected as of July 2025.
Can Empower Pharmacy still compound semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Both shortages are resolved and FDA proposed on 30 April 2026 to exclude both from the 503B bulks list, restricting bulk compounding by outsourcing facilities. Narrow patient-specific 503A compounding may remain available. This page assesses no entity's compliance.
Does this page allege anything about Empower Pharmacy?
No. It reports federal register status with its source and date, and lists what remains unverified. No violation, finding, or concern is asserted.
