    Why get compounded medications at a PCAB Accredited Pharmacy?

    While all pharmacies must meet licensure requirements, PCAB accredited pharmacies have gone the extra mile to demonstrate that they comply with nationally accepted quality control, quality assurance and quality improvement standards.  This helps assure that the patient receives a quality medication.
    In order to demonstrate compliance with PCAB standards and earn PCAB accreditation, pharmacies voluntarily participate in an evaluation process that includes:

    • Verification by PCAB that the pharmacy is not on probation for issues related to compounding quality, public safety or controlled substances.
    • Verification that the pharmacy is properly licensed in each state it does business in.
    • An extensive on-site evaluation by a PCAB surveyor, all of whom are compounding pharmacists trained in evaluating compliance with PCAB’s quality standards.  This evaluation includes:
      • An assessment of the pharmacy’s system for assuring and maintaining staff competency.
      • A review of facilities and equipment.
      • Review of records and procedures required to prepare quality compounded medications.
      • Verification that the pharmacy uses ingredients from FDA registered and or licensed sources.
      • Review of the pharmacy’s program for testing compounded preparations.

    Only when a pharmacy has met PCAB’s rigorous standards, is accreditation issued.

    PCAB accreditation means the pharmacy has independent, outside validation that it meets nationally accepted quality assurance, quality control, and quality improvement standards. When choosing a compounding pharmacy, PCAB suggests looking for the designation “PCAB Accredited® compounding pharmacy” or the PCAB Seal.
