IACP Statement to Forbes on its position on compounding pharmacies preparation of drugs used in executions

The International Compounding Pharmacy Association has no published policy. However, the organization responded via email as follows:

“IACP has taken no formal position on compounding pharmacies’ preparation of drugs used in executions.  The pharmacy profession recognizes an individual practitioner’s right to refuse to dispense a medication based upon his or her personal, ethical and religious beliefs.  In a very few cases, compounding pharmacies have been asked by state corrections agencies to assist in preparing drugs used in executions because pharmaceutical manufacturers have unilaterally restricted distribution.”
“IACP believes state corrections agencies should work first with the pharmacy services providers — the companies that provide medications to prisoners within their systems — to source or compound drugs for executions before soliciting a traditional compounding pharmacy.”
