Compounding Survey
The following questions were mailed out to all permit
holders on record on March 13, 2013, by the end of the
day’s mail pickup on March 15, 2013. Board staff requests
that all pharmacists-in-charge respond to the survey questions
by returning an e-mail, fax, or paper document to
the Board office by April 30, 2013. In case you have not
received the survey, here are the questions:

(OTC) drugs at your pharmacy?
If so,
a. What type(s) of compounding is being done (sterile,
nonsterile, or OTC)?
b. If located in Arizona, does your pharmacy ship compounded
products out of state?
c. Are any of the pharmacists, technicians, or the pharmacy
itself accredited?
d. If accredited by an agency, what is the name of the
accrediting agency?
e. What are the standards and qualifications to become
accredited?
f. Are all compounds dispensed pursuant to a patientspecific
prescription?
g. If compounds are distributed for “office use,” what is
the percentage of prescription volume?
h. If not located in Arizona, do you ship compounds into
other states besides Arizona?
i. If so, please list the name of product shipped and
amount shipped annually?
