FDA/CVM's Compliance Policy Guide on compounding of drugs

As a veterinary practitioner, do you combine drug agents for anesthesia? Create antidotes? Dilute liquids for administration to small, young, or exotic species? Such efforts are examples of compounding. The FDA/CVM's new Compliance Policy Guide (CPG), which regulates the compounding of drugs by veterinarians and pharmacists for use in animals appears here, as originally published in the Compliance Policy Guide Manual. The CPG provides guidance to FDA's field and headquarters staff and serves as a source of useful information to veterinarians. The CPG for Compounding of Drugs for Use in Animals reflects the efforts of a task force made up of a diverse group of veterinarians, pharmacists, and regulators whose conclusions were published in the Symposium of Compounding in JAVMA, July 15, 1994, pp 189-303.

Published by Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1996. The guideline itself is at the source linked here.
