BeMediq is committed to providing safe, medically appropriate care in accordance with applicable laws and clinical best practices. This includes the use of both commercially manufactured and custom-compounded prescription medications, which are prescribed by licensed U.S. healthcare providers and dispensed by state-licensed, federally regulated pharmacies.This page provides detailed information regarding the nature of compounded medications, safety protocols, and patient responsibilities when using any medication prescribed through BeMediq.
What Are Compounded Medications?
Compounded medications are custom-formulated prescription products prepared by licensed 503A compounding pharmacies in the United States. These medications are created based on individual patient needs and prescriber direction, rather than mass-produced for commercial sale.Examples of compounded medications offered through BeMediq may include MIC+B12 injections or NAD+ intramuscular formulations. These are:
- Prescribed only after a licensed provider completes a full review of the patient’s medical intake
- Prepared by licensed U.S. 503A pharmacies operating under state and federal oversight
- Made using FDA-registered or USP-grade ingredients
- Not reviewed or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a whole formulation
It is standard practice that compounded medications are not FDA-approved because they are not manufactured in bulk nor submitted for federal review. However, all compounded products offered through BeMediq are formulated and dispensed in compliance with applicable pharmacy laws and best practices.
Regulatory Oversight
While the FDA does not evaluate compounded medications for safety, efficacy, or manufacturing quality, the following safeguards apply:
- State Board of Pharmacy Licensure
- Federal oversight of compounding under the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA)
- USP <795>/<797> compounding standards for non-sterile and sterile medications
- Routine quality controls, sterility testing, and compliance audits
All pharmacy partners utilized by BeMediq adhere to these standards and are licensed in the states in which they operate.
