Abstract:
In the U.S., determining whether it is legal to compound with a particular substance for human patients is governed by a patchwork of laws, regulations, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidance. Furthermore, there is no single, unified source where a compounder can determine whether a particular substance is legal to compound with. This article provides 503a compounders a step by- step tool to evaluate the legality of compounding with a particular substance for human patients. It does so in a systematic way that considers the patchwork of law, regulations, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidance documents that must be considered.
