Focused on Patient Safety

Welcome to the Alliance for Compounding Excellence. We are focused on patient safety by assuring the excellence of compounded medications.

This assurance is achieved through certification of pharmacy and physician compounders (503A) and Registered Outsourcing Facilities (503B). Our certifications are based on pertinent expectations of the respective regulatory bodies: USP Compounding Chapters, FDA's Insanitary Conditions Guidance, and CGMP entities.
