PRODUCT FAQs
Topical Creams are non-oral, non-injectable, and not for intravenous use, hence they are nonsterile and can be prepared in a clean area with proper technique. Currently, a majority of the states allow physician office-based medication dispensing.
All that is required is a clean surface in a dedicated area, nonsterile latex-free gloves, and a mask. A secure storage area is required to safely store the inventory. We will provide a mixing machine, training and ongoing practice support so the process is seamless.
We only obtain our drugs from FDA certified and registered manufacturers and suppliers. Each vial of drug is premeasured, packaged, sealed, and tested at the manufacturer. The manufacturer is also certified by the National Association of boards of Pharmacy (NABP) and adheres to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) meeting the latest United States Pharmacopeia/National Formulary (USP/NF) and British Pharmacopeia (BP). The drug Component vials are sealed from the time they leave the manufacturer to the time they arrive in your office.
The definition of compounding “includes the preparation of drugs or devices in the anticipation of drug prescription orders, on the basis of routine, regularly observed prescribing patterns” as stated in the United State Pharmacopeia (USP). They can be stored for up to 90 days once mixed or on year if left unmixed.
