- They may also be subject to oversight by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under certain circumstances, particularly if they engage in interstate distribution or compound drugs that are not in compliance with FDA regulations.
- Scope of Practice:
- These pharmacies compound medications on a patient-specific basis in response to valid prescriptions from licensed healthcare practitioners.
- They prepare customized medications tailored to the individual patient’s needs, often to address specific allergies, dosage requirements, or formulation preferences.
- Drug Categories:
- Compounding pharmacies under section 503(a) can compound both commercially available drugs and drugs that are not commercially available or are on backorder.

- Regulatory Oversight:
- Outsourcing facilities operating under section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) are regulated by the FDA.
- These facilities must comply with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) regulations enforced by the FDA to ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of compounded medications.
- Scope of Practice:
- Outsourcing facilities focus on large-scale production of compounded medications without the need for patient-specific prescriptions.
- They compound medications in anticipation of future prescriptions, often for healthcare providers or entities that need access to compounded drugs on a broader scale.
- Drug Categories:
- Outsourcing facilities primarily compound sterile medications, including injectables, ophthalmic preparations, and other sterile products.

Compounding pharmacies under section 503(a) focus on individualized patient care and operate under state and potentially FDA oversight, while 503B outsourcing facilities specialize in large-scale production of sterile compounded medications and are subject to strict FDA regulations to ensure quality and safety.
