Empower Pharmacy is a Compounding Pharmacy evaluated by Vial against public federal and state records, with a Vial Score of 38/100 (Flagged) as of Aug 1, 2026.
Why this score?
This score reflects what Vial could independently verify using public records, such as FDA enforcement history, OIG exclusions, DEA registration, and HIPAA breach records.
Is Empower Pharmacy legit?
We reviewed FDA enforcement records, OIG exclusions, DEA registration, HIPAA breach records, NPI registration, PCAB accreditation, FDA 503B registration, and LegitScript certification.
Empower Pharmacy is one of the largest and most established compounding pharmacies in the U.S., serving patients nationwide since 2011. Our review confirmed LegitScript certification, PCAB accreditation, and an active presence in the federal NPI registry. We also identified an FDA warning letter issued in April 2025, with no close-out letter resolving it as of our last check. Both the pharmacy's credentials and its regulatory history are important parts of the picture, and anyone considering a provider that uses Empower should understand both. Our findings are based on public records reviewed as of July 2026. The company has operated continuously since 2011 and serves all 50 states. We also confirmed LegitScript certification and PCAB accreditation, the main accreditation for compounding pharmacies. The company also appears in the federal NPI registry. Our findings reflect public records reviewed as of August 2026.

What Vial measures, and what we don’t
We evaluate public records: federal enforcement history, registrations, certifications, and how transparent a provider is about its clinicians, pharmacies, and pricing. We don’t score bedside manner, clinical outcomes, or customer satisfaction, and we don’t collect user reviews.
