Reverse Your Reliance on 503Bs for Compounded Sterile Products

Health systems are continuously being challenged to ensure IV preparations are prepared safely and accurately while complying with increasingly complex regulations. As a result, many rely on 503B outsourcing pharmacies to provide the vast majority of their pre-mixed compounded sterile products.
