The Stamp of Accreditation!

Alwan Pharmacy & Compounding Center has just earned the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board’s Seal of Accreditation for meeting the compounding pharmacy profession’s highest quality and safety standards.

The PCAB® Seal of Accreditation is a system of standards created by the leading experts in the compounding pharmacy field today. Our new accreditation status as a PCAB Accredited® compounding pharmacy lets you know that we show our dedication to protecting our patients by practicing safe, high-quality compounding.

With the demand of compounded prescriptions increasing each year, there has been a need for an enhanced, profession-wide system of standards by which each compounding pharmacy can test its quality processes. While compounding pharmacy is regulated by the state, PCAB® Accreditation is an even more comprehensive way to ensure a compounding pharmacy has undergone the profession’s most rigorous review and inspection measures.

To earn the designation “PCAB Accredited® compounding pharmacy,” we completed an extensive application and submission process that was reviewed by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board. Our compounding policies and procedures were then reviewed by professionals. Next, we opened our doors for an extensive on-site inspection led by compounding experts. Only when these stringent evaluations were completed did PCAB officially grant us the PCAB® Seal of Accreditation.

We are honored to be only the second in the state of Illinois and the only pharmacy within 120+ miles to earn this new accreditation, as it sets us apart from other compounding pharmacies. It confirms our commitment to providing safe, personalized solutions that meet your medical needs. We also hope it will further strengthen the bond of trust you have with us.
