This applies to situations where:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The compounded product is similar to a commercially available drug<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Bulk drug substances are used for compounding tirzepatide injection copies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, the FDA\u2019s enforcement discretion has limits. The agency can still take action if there are concerns about product quality or safety, so it\u2019s important for all compounders to maintain the highest standards.<\/p>\n<p>For details, you can review the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/media\/184606\/download\" data-hs-link-id=\"0\">FDA\u2019s Declaratory Order<\/a> on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Questions?
