Inspections of Compounding Pharmacies
Stepped Up
Board staff has stepped up inspections of North Carolina
pharmacies that specialize in compounding to ensure compliance with relevant law. In addition, Board staff is collecting
information from out-of-state pharmacies permitted in North
Carolina that specialize in compounding for the same purpose.
Already, Board inspectors have noted another uptick in the
compounding of “over-the-counter” drugs for general resale.
This is not a legal practice. This activity was the subject of
a lengthy item in the April 2008 Newsletter: www.ncbop.org/
Newsletters/Apr2008.pdf. Given the clarity of the law and
Board staff’s repeated emphasis on this issue, instances of this
practice will no longer be treated as an “educational” matter.
They will be treated as a disciplinary matter.
