Should your pharmacy consider 503B outsourcing? What are the opportunities, costs, and regulatory considerations?

Join us for a discussion of the 503B outsourcing facility model and how it differs from traditional pharmacy compounding. We’ll explore the current 503B market, capital and operational requirements, regulatory differences, and important considerations for pharmacies evaluating whether 503B may be right for their business.

The discussion will also include a separate look at controlled substances and the additional regulatory requirements and considerations that apply.

Whether you are considering entering the 503B space, partnering with a 503B facility, or simply want to better understand the differences, this SIG will provide valuable insight to help you make informed decisions.

Join us for this informative and timely discussion on one of the important questions facing compounding pharmacies today.
