use clinical case examples to highlight compounding rules and regulations, including when medications can be legally compounded.
Differences between FDA categories of compounding pharmacies and what that means to you and your clients will be detailed.

The use of compounding in veterinary medicine has skyrocketed in the last 10 years. Unfortunately, there have been numerous
compounding pharmacy debacles leading to serious injury and/or death for human and veterinary patients. In response to these
debacles, Congress passed the DQSA or Drug Quality & Security Act in 2013. This lecture will review the various word salad acronyms
associated with compounding. We will also review the numerous publications in the area which definitively show that not all
compounding pharmacies are created equal, which can have profound impact on our medication decisions we make for our
patients.
