New Framework:
  • Require compliance with federal quality standards, appropriate for the compounding of riskier products & exposure of larger numbers of patients,
  • Require federal registration of the compounding facilities that will be subject to federal quality standards so FDA knows where they are and what drug products they are making.
  • Require those higher-risk compounding pharmacies to report to FDA serious adverse reactions to their drugs of which they become aware.
Basic Protections:
  • Grant clear authority to examine a pharmacy’s records to more quickly locate the cause of an outbreak or other violations of the law.
  • Prohibit compounding of the most complex and highest risk products—drugs and biologics that should only be made for patients by an FDA-registered drug manufacturer under an approved new drug application.
