NOTICE TO HOSPITALS
Cannot obtain FDA-approved drugs?
Outsourcing Facilities are subject to MORE QUALITY STANDARDS than other compounders and supply drugs in shortage.
Hospitals that cannot obtain adequate supplies of FDA-approved drugs and are considering the use of compounded drugs for their hospitalized patients should first contact outsourcing facilities, which are subject to more robust quality standards than state-licensed pharmacies or federal facilities that do not register with FDA as outsourcing facilities.
