People’s Custom Rx is proud to announce that we have just earned the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board’s (PCAB) Seal of Accreditation for meeting and/or exceeding national quality standards. The PCAB® Seal of Accreditation is a system of quality and safety standards created by the leading experts in the compounding pharmacy field today. Our new accreditation status as a PCAB Accredited® Compounding Pharmacy lets you know that People’s Custom Rx shows dedication to protecting our patients by practicing high-quality compounding.

Compounding medications is an integral part of the practice of pharmacy, yet many people may not even be aware of it. Compounded medications are prescriptions that are written by a physician, veterinarian, or other legally authorized prescriber and prepared for an individual patient by a specially trained pharmacist for situations such as:

• A child needs a smaller dose of a medicine that is only commercially manufactured in adult-size doses.
• A person can not tolerate the inactive ingredients, such as gluten or sugar, in manufactured medicines.
• A doctor believes a medicine is needed for the patient, but a manufacturer has discontinued the medicine for economic reasons.

With the demand for customized compounded medications growing each year, there has been a need for an enhanced, profession-wide system of standards by which each compounding pharmacy can test its quality processes. While compounding pharmacies are regulated by the state, PCAB Accreditation is an even more comprehensive way to ensure a compounding pharmacy has undergone the profession’s most rigorous review and inspection measures.

To earn the designation “PCAB Accredited® Compounding Pharmacy”, People’s Custom Rx completed an extensive application and submission process that was reviewed by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board. Our compounding policies and procedures were then reviewed by professionals. Next, we opened our doors for an extensive on-site inspection led by compounding experts. Only when these stringent evaluations were completed did PCAB® officially grant us the PCAB® Seal of Accreditation. We are honored to earn this new accreditation as it sets us apart from other compounding pharmacies. Achieving accreditation is a strong statement of our pharmacy’s commitment to our community in providing high quality compounded medications.
