Course Overview: There are few more perplexing problems in pharmacy than the law of compounding. Federal law asserts control over the manufacturing of drugs, but federal law also carves out exceptions for compounding by pharmacies under specified circumstances. State law and state boards of pharmacy exert control over the practice of pharmacy within the state’s jurisdiction, including compounding. There was little conflict for years until recently when compounding became more popular and the FDA began trying to take more control. In an effort to rein in a few large compounding that the FDA felt were manufacturing under the guise of compounding, it argued it had almost complete jurisdiction over compounding. Pharmacists and the states take exception with the FDA’s arguments. Pharmacists find themselves caught in a position of trying to make sense out of a question of who really is in control. In this program we will look at the history of compounding and federal and state laws to try to offer some clarity to a confusing set of questions. We will also look at recent court cases, some of which conflict, to find some answers.
