Safe, reliable, sterile compounding requires strict adherence to quality standards which includes specialized equipment, high quality materials and a well trained staff. TCP features a USP 797 compliant ISO Class 8 clean room and ISO Class 5 hoods to assure the safety of our staff and quality of our preparations. Chemicals used to compound medications come to us with certificates of analysis from the most reputable active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and chemical wholesalers. Our preparation team have years of experience in sterile compounding, and are required to pass rigorous in-house testing before being allowed to work in the sterile lab.
We also test our compounded medications through outside analytical laboratories registered with the FDA, DEA, and Texas DPS. Our products are studied and routinely tested to extend and verify the stability and use-by dates on all preparations. Testing measures include raw chemical evaluations, preparation testing, multiple in-process inspections, and environmental monitoring.
TCP earned accreditation from the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB), awarded to only a few Texas pharmacies. TCP has also enrolled in an additional continuous quality improvement (CQI) program from an independent quality assurance company that constantly monitors our compounding processes to ensure quality compounded products (both sterile and non-sterile).
TCP’s staff works in tandem with our internal computer systems and software to assure accuracy in formulation and documentation of each compound prepared. Electronic logging of materials received assures the ability to trace a finished product back to its original raw materials. Our software systems also help us manage shelf life expiration dates of all raw and finished preparations. Finally, we store and manage a record of all customer information, including lot numbers of preparations shipped.
