US-FDA and Pharmacy Compounding

Note: Though in the Philippines community pharmacists do not much practice compounding anymore, it is essential to know that compounding medicines in other countries (like USA) is still valid and practiced. In the Philippines it is not totally eradicated as a function of community pharmacists, as a matter of fact some community pharmacies and hospital pharmacies are still compounding medicines but valid only when the treatment calls for a drug preparation that does not occur as pre-manufactured drug.
