Version 21.3
About
There is sometimes a need to send a prescription to the pharmacy that includes instructions for the pharmacist to compound a medication using a combination of known individual medications, both prescription and/or OTC.
In other circumstances, a clinician might want to prescribe a medication like FIRST-Omeprazole (tm), Because [[FIRST-Omeprazole (tm) is not FDA-approved]][FAQs | Azurity | Compounding Kit Manufacturer ]] the kit’s NDC number is not listed in supplied Master List. However, a prescriber can issue a prescription that it be compounded from FDA-approved bulk ingredients like 49884-0268-52 (which is essentially what a FIRST kit does.)
