Virtual Seminar – July 11, 2020

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 due to the inherent risks involved in this practice. As such, new laws and standards have been introduced for both sterile and non-sterile compounding to ensure patient safety and prevent future outbreaks. While these standards are vital to protecting and promoting public health, many compounding pharmacies struggle to keep up with all the changes and sometimes conflicting requirements. Our workshop will provide you with the resources needed to keep you up to date with current guidelines and regulatory standards. By attending our training, not only will you maintain your commitment to quality, you will also be able to incorporate the practical changes required to meet or exceed compliance with the latest sterile and non-sterile compounding laws and regulations.
