compounding pharmacy

Compounding is the creation of a pharmaceutical preparation of a drug by a licensed pharmacist to meet the unique needs of an individual patient, whether human or animal when a commercially available drug does not suffice. This may be necessary when a patient cannot tolerate the commercially available drug, when the exact preparation needed is unavailable on the market, or when a drug is in shortage or discontinued. Compounded medication is occasionally referred to as "personalized medicine" due to its ability to be tailored to the unique health requirements of each patient. Customized medications that are unavailable from commercial drug manufacturers are manufactured by compounding pharmacies. Pharmaceutical compounding is a valuable tool for addressing the unique requirements of a patient that cannot be accommodated by commercially available medications.

In February 2024, the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) began a four-year partnership with the U.S. FDA's Compounding Quality Center of Excellence, aiming to improve the quality and accessibility of compounded drugs. This collaboration focuses on expanding training programs for professionals in outsourcing facilities and the broader compounding community, as well as creating interactive platforms for knowledge sharing and collaboration. While compounding is primarily regulated at the state level by boards of pharmacy, community and hospital pharmacists can claim exemptions from certain federal regulations under Section 503A of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Despite these exemptions, both federal and state authorities oversee compounding practices to ensure medication safety, with pharmacists required to adhere to specific standards and regulations regarding the quality and integrity of drug ingredients, as overseen by the FDA.
