Wyoming MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

In order for a compounding pharmacy to not cross over into manufacturer territory, it must compound less than what % of total prescriptions filled?

1. 10%

2. 20%

3. 5%

4. 15%

The correct answer is: 10%

In order for a compounding pharmacy to avoid being classified as a manufacturer, it must compound less than 10% of the total prescriptions filled. This limitation helps ensure that compounding pharmacies primarily focus on preparing customized medications for individual patients based on specific needs rather than mass-producing products for broader distribution. Compounding pharmacies play a crucial role in meeting unique patient needs that cannot be met by commercially available medications.
