Questions welcome
Prescribers and patients can ask a pharmacist about how any preparation is made and tested.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are prepared for an individual patient based on a prescription.
Ask your pharmacy what standards it holds itself to.
Not every pharmacy works to the same standards. Before you fill a compounded prescription anywhere, it's fair to ask a few questions. Here are our answers.
