Federal rules the exam tests
- Section 503A covers drugs a licensed pharmacist compounds for an identified patient on a valid prescription, or in limited quantities before receiving one based on a history of such orders. 21 U.S.C. 353a(a)
- A 503A pharmacy may not compound regularly or in inordinate amounts drugs that are essentially copies of commercially available drugs. 21 U.S.C. 353a(b)(1)(D)
- An outsourcing facility registers with FDA under section 503B, compounds under current good manufacturing practice and may compound without a patient-specific prescription. 21 U.S.C. 353b
Federal law sets the floor. Where a state rule is stricter, the state rule applies, and state MPJEs test it.
