Abstract
During the past decade there has been a significant increase in the number of pharmacists in the United States who devote a substantial part of their professional activities to compounding prescription, in some instances for a wide variety of drugs and drug delivery systems. There is dispute about the legal status of some of these activities. Also, the clinical safety and efficacy of some of these products may be open to question. The present paper explores issues involved in the present debate.
