Veterinary drugs are compounded in a licensed company by the pharmacist or technician with proper qualification and experience. Veterinary drugs are compounded based on Doctors prescription, and to meet the specific needs of specific patients.

It’s Regulation

The regulation of veterinary compounding is done by both the governments, federal government (Food and Drug Administration/FDA) and state governments.
