Wisconsin Compounding Pharmacy Affiliations

International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists (IACP) advocates to protect, promote and advance the art and science of the pharmacy compounding profession. Representing more than 2,000 pharmacists and technicians including those with MD Custom Rx, who focus on the specialty practice of pharmacy compounding.  More than 86,000 patients and prescribers who rely on compounded medicines also belong to our organization.

Did you know the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Supreme Court, Congress, and virtually every major association of health care professionals have recognized the value of compounding pharmacists? Unfortunately, misguided efforts to alter the regulatory landscape threaten pharmacists' ability to practice compounding and, subsequently, physician and patient access to these medication choices. Contrary to what state laws hold, the FDA claims, for instance, that compounded medications are new drugs and must undergo the FDA’s new drug approval process for manufactured pharmaceuticals. It has also declared that animal medications compounded from pure pharmaceutical ingredients are illegal. IACP is fighting in courts, in Congress and in the public arena to raise awareness of the value of compounding and to reverse these policies and maintain states’ historically established authority over the practice of compounding.

The Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA) is the nation's complete resource for fine chemicals, equipment, devices, flavors, ACPE-accredited training and education, pharmacy software, marketing, business and pharmacy consulting assistance. Our membership includes more than 3,500 independent community pharmacists in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe and New Zealand.

PCCA's mission is to strengthen the role, position and skills of member compounding pharmacists so they can meet the unique healthcare needs of patients through our exceptional service, highest-quality products, shared innovations and education.

One patient. One physician. One pharmacist. A triad relationship with a common goal: achieving a positive therapeutic outcome for the patient. And in the midst of this relationship and this common goal is PCCA, and is the goal of MD Custom Rx.
