*As you may have noticed, the McGuff Compounding Pharmacy does not display a list of specific medications that we have compounded on this web site.  This is due to the regulatory environment related to compounding.  The 1997 FDA Modernization Act (Modernization Act) specifically took away the right of any compounding pharmacy to advertise specific products.  On April 29, 2002 the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the compounding section of the Modernization Act, and we are currently allowed to advertise specific products.  So why don't we?

The Supreme Court affirmed the right for our freedom of speech in a commercial environment.  We agree that we should have this right.  However, we also understand the reasons why the FDA did not want pharmacies to advertise compounded products.  So while we are technically able to advertise products we choose not to.  A big difference.

While the Modernization Act is not current law, we believe several portions of this act were good for compounding and we choose to abide with these sections even though we do not have to.  As an example, the Modernization Act allowed the FDA to create a list of drugs that should not be compounded.  You have our assurance we will not produce any drug that was on the FDA's list not to compound.
