Cantrell Drug specializes in pharmacy-prepared, sterile products up through USP risk level III. Today, all healthcare institutions are experiencing budget constraints, staffing shortages, ever-increasing regulations, limited pharmacy space, and many other obstacles. These constraints create an ideal environment for medication errors in compounding. Outsourcing these time consuming, error prone tasks can be a smart choice. Through carefully designed facilities, procedures, proper equipment, trained personnel, and end-product testing, Cantrell Drug Company offers a level of safety beyond that which most pharmacy settings obtain. PCAB accredited, USP 797 compliant, c-GMP focused policies and procedures provide safety you can trust.
Cantrell Drug Company is licensed as a DEA manufacturer to prepare and distribute controlled substances via the DEAs official 222 Order Form or via online CSOS.
A common misunderstanding in the healthcare community is that a prescription may be utilized to acquire or distribute pharmacy-prepared controlled-drugs from one DEA registrant to another (i.e. pharmacy to physician). This transaction requires the services of a registered DEA manufacturer.
Cantrell Drug Company's controlled substance distributions are performed in strict compliance with DEA regulations. Contact us for more information regarding these laws and our services. Also refer to our How to Order section.
Every healthcare institution is sure to feel the effects of shortages in the coming months; in fact, the amount of shortages has more than tripled since 2005.[1] 77% of these products were sterile injectable medications, 42% of which were due to product quality issues such as the "presence of particulates, microbial contamination, newly identified impurities, and stability changes," and 18% due to product discontinuations where prior notification to the FDA was not required.[1] Other reasons for disturbances in the manufacturing process are cGMPs required by the FDA. The shortages lead to increased cost for pharmacies to meet patient and physician needs, and much of the financial impact is felt in acute care divisions.
Cantrell Drug Company offers compounded solutions to many of these drug shortages. Currently, we are providing many products - please contact us for more information and to see if the product you need is available at Cantrell Drug Company.
