Bonjour,
Pourriez-vous me dire si l'expression "s'est entre-temps muée" est exacte? Voici le contexte:

La petite pharmacie de X (lieu) s'est entre-temps muée en spécialiste logistique ultramoderne et performant offrant un service de livraison de médicaments à domicile fiable et économique.

Merci de vos lumières!
