COMPOUNDING ISSUE

The following was submitted to the VALVT from Maureen Perry RPh, FSVHP,DICVP, Pharmacy Supervisor
Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine

I hope that the following link to the guidance document on compounding, as published on the board of veterinary medicine helps to clarify this issue.
This is the link to the guidance documents http://www.dhp.virginia.gov/vet/vet_guidelines.htm  
This link takes you directly to the one on compounding. 150-5 Use of Compounded Drugs in Veterinary Practice, adopted February 7, 2013
This is a link to  the .pdf copy of the article on compounding published in JAVMA on the first of this month. 
Compounding has become a hot button issue in all of our practices, so I am very glad you mentioned it to your members.
