A new website shares how The PCCA Standard applies to the
company’s sourcing of chemicals, quality assurance and quality control,
base development and production, and formulations

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CompoundingPharmacy?src=hash" target="_blank"gt;#CompoundingPharmacylt;/agt;–For more than 38 years, PCCA has been committed to providing the utmost
quality and safety in compounding as an FDA-registered and -inspected
chemical repackager and relabeler. Today, PCCA is reaffirming and
further defining this commitment with the launch of The PCCA Standard™
and website at thepccastandard.com.


“Every day, we make a choice to define ourselves by high quality,” said
PCCA President Jim Smith. “We want to do everything we can to help our
customers give their patients reproducible results and the best clinical
outcomes possible, because patients and compounding pharmacies matter to
us. That’s why, every day, we choose to go above and beyond what is
simply required and hold ourselves to The PCCA Standard.”

The new website explores how The PCCA Standard applies to the company’s
sourcing of chemicals, quality assurance and quality control, base
development and production, and formulations. Specifically, visitors
will learn more about the PCCA API Manufacturer Qualification Program,
which ensures that PCCA finds the best active pharmaceutical ingredient
(API) manufacturer every time through its four-step process:

  • Manufacturer Assessment
  • Sample Testing
  • PCCA Formula Testing
  • Manufacturer Reassessment

An interactive operations facilities map shows website visitors the
meticulous step-by-step evaluation of every chemical lot received,
repackaged and shipped to customers from PCCA. Additionally, three
videos reveal the development, production and quality of PCCA’s
innovative proprietary bases. Finally, PCCA shares how The PCCA Standard
applies to the formulas it develops and the science behind them.

“All of this effort mitigates risk and provides PCCA customers with
confidence that the ingredients used to compound prescriptions for their
patients are of the highest quality,” said PCCA Chief Scientific Officer
Gus Bassani, PharmD. “There’s a lot of talk in the marketplace about
quality products, but it is thin on substance. It’s one thing to say you
sell quality products; it’s an entirely different thing to prove it by
lifting the curtain on our proprietary processes to show the world the
steps we take to ensure that we provide our customers only the best
products.”
