Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. This means the FDA does not verify the safety or effectiveness of compounded drugs.
Risks associated with compounded medications:
Because compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, the FDA does not verify their effectiveness, safety or quality before they are marketed. Compounded drugs can serve an important medical need for patients, but they do not have the same quality, safety and effectiveness assurances as approved drugs. Unnecessary use of compounded drugs can potentially expose patients to serious health risks. Poor compounding practices can result in serious drug quality problems, such as contamination or a drug that contains too much active ingredient. This can lead to serious injury or death. Compounding drugs under unsanitary conditions could lead to widespread patient harm, especially when the compounder engages in large-scale, non-patient specific compounding and distribution. The FDA may not be aware of which compounders are making such drugs and some states may have insufficient resources to adequately oversee them.
