Section 1: Compounding Pharmacies; Certain Medications; Requirements; Definitions

A. All patients and terminally ill patients have the right to determine, with the assistance and guidance of their health care providers, individual courses of treatment through the use of medications and treatments obtained from a compounding pharmacy.

B. Compounding pharmacies that are licensed in this state shall have access to Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients for use in compounding that meet United States Pharmacopeia Monographs, if the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is:

(1) prepared for use by a United States Food and Drug Administration-registered Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient manufacturer or packager; and
(2) shipped into this state in compliance with state law and arrives with a certificate of analysis detailing quality specifications, including any medications, dietary supplements and amino acids that are already in use by compounding pharmacies in this state, in order to provide chronically ill patients and terminally ill patients with the prescribed individual course of treatment.

C. Subsection (B) of this section does not apply if the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient is deemed unsafe for compounding by the federal Food and Drug Administration or is placed on the Interim 503a Category II Bulk Drug Substance List. Compounding pharmacies may use substances placed on the Interim 503a Category III Bulk Drug Substance List only if the substance meets the requirements of this section.

D. This section does not allow any treatment or use of medication that is intended to cause the death of the patient.

(1) “personalized care” means medical care and related services that are tailored to the patient’s unique clinical needs in which licensed providers prescribe customized medications—adjusting dosage, form, or ingredients from what is commercially available to meet each patient’s unique clinical needs.

(2) “compounding pharmacy” means a pharmacy that is classified as a 503a pharmacy by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

(3) “monographs” means quality standards for prescription medicines and dietary supplements that articulate the quality expectations for a medicine or dietary supplement, including its identity, strength, purity and performance.
