Will Compounded Medicines Disappear?
Did you know that the FDA is considering enacting legislation that would make it illegal to compound prescribed natural substances? If enacted, this legislation would affect clinicians as well as compounding pharmacies across the US and significantly impair certain treatment protocols.

The Journal of Restorative Medicine recently interviewed Paul Anderson, ND, who is extremely knowledgeable about this topic, and has testified at the USFDA hearings in support of maintaining availability of several hundred compounded medicines.
JRM believes it is crucial for integrative medicine practitioners to have information about this movement, and to participate in the process by providing your feedback to the FDA (link within the article).

Maybe you don’t use “compounded medicines” and think this doesn’t apply to your practice?

Not so fast, says Dr. Anderson: “It’s not just pharmacists that the FDA considers to be compounders. About 2 years ago, the rules were changed so that physicians who do anything nonsterile…have to comply with USP 795 (Pharmaceutical Compounding – Nonsterile Preparations) and USP 797 (Pharmaceutical Compounding – Sterile Preparations). So, let’s say you as a physician put together two, three, or four items on the FDA “no” list into one bottle in your office to make a tincture; that is technically compounding. This confuses a lot of practitioners. For one thing, most doctors don’t know that they are now considered a compounding pharmacy.”
