Transitioning a compounding pharmacy to a compliant 503b outsourcing facility is challenging. Our cleanroom consultants specialize in conversion to and maintaining compliance for outsourcing facilities. Following the Drug Quality and Security Act made effective November 27, 2013, the 503b section in the FDCA applies. Under this 503B section a sterile compounding pharmacy must register as an outsourcing facility. For FDA approval, your facility must comply with all of the 503b requirements.
503b Compliance Requirements
Sterile compounded pharmaceuticals from an outsourcing facility can qualify for FDA exemptions and the requirement to label products with adequate directions for use. However, due to the sensitive nature of effective drugs, a 503b outsourcing facility must strictly adhere to current good manufacturing practices, also known as cGMP, and include but are not limited to :
- FDA inspections according to a risk-based schedule
- Reporting adverse events
- Providing the FDA with certain information about the products they compound
- Maintaining a truly sterile environment through the use of clean and sterile cleanroom apparel, cleaning supplies, sterility testing products etc.
