US Davis Veterinary Medicine Rules Regarding Compounding and Investigational Drugs for Research Purposes

Investigational Drugs

Compounding

Most journals will not accept an article advocating the use of a drug clinically when it is made from bulk ingredients (i.e., raw chemical).  When a drug is made commercially, the researcher should use the commercial preparation (e.g., tab, cap, oral solution, etc) to do the investigation.  Yes, it is more expensive; however, you don't want a journal to reject your publication because of the source of the drug!
