On November 27, 2013, President Obama signed the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA), legislation that contains important provisions relating to the oversight of compounding of human drugs. In the new law, a compounder can become an “outsourcing facility.” Outsourcing facilities must comply with CGMP requirements.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) puts forth the cGMP regulations (current good manufacturing practice). The CGMPs are also commonly referred to as:

• GMP - good manufacturing practice, or
• CGMPR (current good manufacturing practices regulations)
