Compounding Notice

Compounded Medication Disclosure

Compounded medications are custom-prepared medications prescribed for individual patients when a licensed provider determines they are clinically appropriate.

Compounded medications:

  • Are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  • Are not evaluated by the FDA for safety or effectiveness
  • May differ from FDA-approved drugs in formulation, strength, stability, or availability
  • Are prepared by state-licensed pharmacies or FDA-registered outsourcing facilities

Compounded medications are prescribed solely at the discretion of an independent, licensed healthcare provider.
