Compounding pharmacy licensing verification for compounded supply: before ordering, verify your pharmacy's credentials:
- State Board of Pharmacy license — check on your state BOP website
- FDA registration (for 503B) — check on fda.gov
- DEA registration if handling controlled substances
- PCAB accreditation — voluntary but demonstrates commitment to quality
- USP <797>/<800> compliance for sterile compounding

GMP compliance checklist relevant to compounded supply compounding quality:
- Clean room environment with HEPA filtration
- Environmental monitoring (viable and non-viable)
- Personnel training and competency assessment
- Validated analytical methods for testing
- Stability testing program
- Complete batch records and traceability
- Quality management system with deviation handling
A 503B pharmacy following cGMP should be able to answer questions about ALL of these if you ask. Don't be afraid to ask — it's your health.
