Health Care Reform

Contact your members of Congress to have them correct language that could

limit patient access to compounded medications!

Millions of Americans have unique health care needs that off-the-shelf

prescription medications cannot meet. For them, personalized medication

solutions-mixed safely by trained, licensed pharmacists-are the only option

to achieve the desired health care outcome.

Last summer we successfully lobbied the House of Representatives to change

language grouping compounding pharmacists in the same category as

manufacturers. Unfortunately, in the recently passed health care and budget

reconciliation measure, H.R.4872, the language was changed and reverted back

to the original language of " manufacturing " to include compounding by

pharmacists. In other words, this language (included in the physician's

" sunshine " provisions of the bill) would include the practice of pharmacy

compounding under the definition of manufacturing and could subject the

practice to an entirely new regulatory administration. This could have a

direct impact on what compounders must do to comply with the law and could

limit patient access to compounded medication.

We urge you to contact your federal legislators (both House and Senate

Representatives) and ask them to reverse their decision. Please insist that

they exclude the practice of compounding from the definition of

manufacturing.

The Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Supreme Court, Congress and

virtually every major association of health care professionals and patient

advocates recognize the value of compounding as an integral component of

contemporary pharmacy practice. These pharmacists work with physicians,

nurse practitioners and veterinarians to create customized medication

solutions for patients and animals whose health care needs are not met by

manufactured medications.
