TRICARE has posted a notice on its website indicating it is looking at the safety of compounded drug prescriptions and will be re-examining its policy after the FDA implements key aspects of the new law!!

Compound Drugs

Our primary goal is your safety. TRICARE is looking at the safety of compound drug prescriptions.
  • Your pharmacist makes compound prescriptions for you specifically. 
  • These compounds may contain bulk chemicals.
  • Many bulk chemicals aren't approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
  • The FDA is currently reviewing a new law concerning the safety of compound drugs Once the FDA implements key aspects of the new law, we will re-examine our policy.
We will post new information on this page as it’s available
