Quality, Trust, Partnership: Promoting Healthy Outcomes

Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications for patients. Its practice dates to the origins of pharmacy. It declined in the 1950s and ‘60s as the pharmacist’s role changed from a preparer of medications to a dispenser of mass-manufactured products.

However, this “one-size-fits-all” approach to medication meant that some patients’ needs were unmet. Within the last few decades, compounding has experienced a renaissance, as modern technology, innovative techniques and new research have allowed more pharmacists to customize medications to meet a patient’s unique needs.

ADKOA pharmacy follows USP 795 and 800 standards. And goes beyond by complying with Current Good Manufacturing Practices.

The Virginia board of pharmacy regulates and performs annual unannounced inspections.

As a 503A compounding pharmacy, even though we are not obliged to comply with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP), in our quest to go above and beyond what is required, we use it as a standard for all our processes.
