AVMA Compounding Brochure

Veterinarians occasionally use compounded preparations to meet a specific patient’s medical need. The purpose of this brochure, created jointly by the Animal Health Institute (AHI), the American Veterinary Distributors Association (AVDA), and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), is to explain the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements for compounding preparations for veterinary use and the distinction between drug products approved by the US FDA and compounded preparations.
