What percentage of a pharmacy's sales necessitates registration as a compounding drug outlet?

In Colorado, a pharmacy must register as a compounding drug outlet if the compounding activities account for more than 10% of its total pharmaceutical sales. This requirement is established to ensure that pharmacies engaged in compounding maintain appropriate standards and regulatory compliance. By setting this threshold, the regulation serves to distinguish between pharmacies that predominantly dispense commercially available products and those that regularly engage in compounding, which can involve different levels of risk and require specific controls to ensure patient safety and quality of compounded medications. This ensures that those pharmacies that compound a significant volume of products are subject to the relevant oversight and standards necessary for outpatient compounding services.
