Main description:

Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) accreditation affords compounding pharmacists an unparalleled opportunity to demonstrate superior quality and safety in their compounding practices. And yet, since PCAB was founded in 2004, only a modest number of pharmacies across the nation have achieved accreditation. Other pharmacies have applied for accreditation but have not completed the process. Now, with "Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation: A How-To Manual", there's no longer reason to wait.
