Why this matters
State pharmacy boards can suspend or revoke licenses independent of FDA action. A pharmacy in FDA good standing can still face state action.
How to check
- State pharmacy board website disciplinary actions section.
- State attorney general consumer protection news releases.
- Pharmacy compounding industry news (Outsourcing Facility Compendium, NABP news).
2025–2026 active investigations
Florida, Texas, and California have opened formal investigations into high-volume compounding operations. See our state pharmacy board actions page for details.
What to do if your pharmacy is under investigation
- Stop and contact your provider.
- Confirm the provider has alternate partner pharmacies.
- Verify your current vial(s) came from the named pharmacy before the investigation.
- Consider switching providers if disclosure is inadequate.
