Idaho Board of Pharmacy Plans to Adopt Sterile Product Compounding Rules

The Idaho Board of Pharmacy looks to adopt sterile product compounding rules in 2012 as stated in its strategic plan found here.  Part of that plan states:

The Board envisions regulating the practice of compounding pharmacy.  This practice has traditionally been regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), however, the FDA’s authority has been challenged in court recently, leaving such regulation to the states.  The Board envisions promulgating sterile product compounding rules in 2012 and additional compounding rules in 2013, reviewing such rules annually.
