About
The Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding advocates for pharmacies and facilities that create customized medications. They focus on state and federal issues to ensure patient access to compounded drugs, representing pharmacists, technicians, prescribers, patients, educators, and suppliers. Their work supports precise, personalized options when standard treatments fall short.
Compounded medications allow for tailored therapy, such as adjusting for allergies or different dosage forms like liquids or suppositories. This approach meets needs during market shortages or when commercial products do not suit individual requirements. They promote a safe environment for compounding, prescribing, and dispensing.
Through initiatives like white papers and defense efforts, they counter restrictions on active pharmaceutical ingredients for compounded drugs. Their blueprint aims to eliminate redundant regulations impeding access. Membership fosters strategic support for sustainable patient care.
