Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
⛔ NEW MEXICO LETS A PHARMACY COMPOUND A COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE PRODUCT FOR DISPENSING ONLY ON STATED CONDITIONS, WHICH IS THE COMPOUNDED-SEMAGLUTIDE QUESTION IN ONE PARAGRAPH. Commercially available product may be compounded for dispensing to individual patients provided the following conditions are met: (a) the commercial product is not reasonably available from normal distribution channels in a timely manner to meet patient’s needs; and (b) the prescribing practitioner has requested that the drug be compounded; or (c) if the compounded product is changed to produce for that patient a significant difference, as authorized by the prescriber, between the compounded drug and the comparable commercially available drug product, or if use of the compounded product is in the best interest of the patient; when a compounded product is to be dispensed in place of a commercially available product, the prescriber and patient shall be informed that the product will be compounded.
