At the Compounding Table Topic at the 2008 American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) convention, held Dec. 6-10 in San Diego, Calif., facilitators made handouts available, including the FDA’s Compliance Policy Guide (CPG); the Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act of 1994 (AMDUCA), the AAEP Position Statement/Guidelines for Use of Compounded Products, and a couple of recent articles on the topic of compounding.

Discussions were lively and, at times, spirited, but for the most part they were productive.

Comments and discussions surrounded current compounding guidelines and AMDUCA. It was obvious to the facilitators that there is still a great need for AAEP membership education on this subject
