Compounded medications are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies to meet individual patient needs.
Compounded medications are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which means the FDA has not evaluated these compounded products for safety, effectiveness, or quality in the same way as FDA-approved medications.
When clinically appropriate, your healthcare provider will discuss available treatment options, including potential risks and benefits, to help determine the most appropriate care for your individual situation.
If a compounded medication is prescribed, it should be obtained only from a licensed pharmacy operating in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations.
