Missouri Sterile Compounding Survey Underway
During the spring of 2014, the Missouri Board of Pharmacy will be conducting a survey of all pharmacies that hold a Class H sterile compounding pharmacy permit. The goal of the survey is to assist the Board in identifying sterile compounding activities in the state and in allocating inspection resources. Surveys will be mailed in early spring and may be completed electronically or by returning the paper survey forms.
Compounded Drug Testing Program Continues in Missouri
The Missouri Board of Pharmacy began testing preparations compounded by pharmacies in 2003. All preparations are tested by an outside laboratory for potency, sterility, and endotoxins, when applicable. Pursuant to §338.150.2, RSMo, pharmacies are required to allow inspectors to collect samples during inspections and investigations. This includes both batch and patient-specific compounds present in the pharmacy at the time of the inspector’s visit. The Board pays all testing costs and will reimburse the pharmacy reasonable, usual, and customary prices for samples collected. Program summaries are published in the Board’s Annual Report, available at http://pr.mo.gov/pharmacists-annual-reports.asp
