Third Question of the Day July 4, 2014 NCPA strongly supports this letter as it stresses the importance of allowing traditional pharmacies to continue to be allowed to compound small amounts of medications for office use. What does the NCPA consider to be a "small amount?" Some compounders argue about the 5% rule but it has to be a measurable amount?

Anyone can say that they only distribute 5% or less of their compounded drugs through physician offices, but no one is checking! and I am sure that there are plenty of pharmacies doing more than that! but not admitting to it. Plus, what if a "mega-pharmacy" that has a national sales force has over $10 million in business per year? $500,000 of drugs (5%) is a heck of a lot of drugs shipped.
