Committee recommends board approve new compounding FAQs tied to October 2025 regulations
Summary
The committee recommended the board approve a set of compounding FAQs (informational only) tied to new compounding regulations effective 10/01/2025; members asked small readability edits (define abbreviations in question text) before referral to the full board.
Committee members reviewed a proposed set of Frequently Asked Questions to help licensees understand the board's recently updated compounding regulations, which took effect Oct. 1, 2025.
Staff explained the FAQs are informational and intended to supplement—not replace—applicable state and federal law and USP standards. Nicole Thiebaud suggested a readability improvement to spell out abbreviations (for example, defining CNSP and CSP at the point they appear in a question rather than only in an earlier answer) so readers who scan questions will understand them (SEG 1288-1303).
Renee Barker moved to recommend approval of the proposed compounding FAQs and to refer the document to the full board for approval; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote with all members voting yes (SEG 1323, SEG 1331, SEG 1369-1371). No public commenters spoke on this agenda item.
What this means: The FAQ document will be sent to the full board for approval; staff will incorporate minor edits suggested by members (including the suggested abbreviation clarification) before the board considers it.
