Question 3

What is the difference between a 503A/503B pharmacy?

Accepted Answer

Quality Compounding Rx of America is a 503A pharmacy and produces only patient specific medications intended for individualized treatment plans. We cannot provide any products intended for office use. In contrast, 503B facilities produce bulk medications that can be used for multiple patients.
