ForwardStaying Current and Compliant with Regulations & Standards in your Compounding Practice
Course Format
1/2-day live virtual seminar (4 hours) that allows you to connect and interact with peers and the facilitator online, in real time, through open mic Q&A sessions, group discussions, polls, and online chats – all from the comfort of your home!
Course Description
Are you up-to-date with current regulations? Is your compounding pharmacy compliant? Never assume – the likelihood of having your pharmacy inspected continues to increase.
Over the last few years, pharmaceutical compounding has come under increasing federal and state regulatory scrutiny and oversight. New laws and standards have been introduced for non-sterile, sterile, and hazardous drug compounding – many pharmacies struggle to keep up with all the changes and sometimes conflicting requirements. This program provides direction on what you need to know and comply with when it comes to current United States compounding regulations, including USP <795>, <797>, <800>, FDA Guidance Documents, State Boards of Pharmacy, and more. It takes a practical and applicable approach, teaching you how to prepare for and manage a pharmacy inspection, as well as how to resolve any issues identified. During the activity, you will be able to discuss and share actionable and practical ideas that can be implemented in your own compounding practice today.
