Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to start compounding?
Basic non-sterile compounding equipment starts at $10,000-25,000. Sterile compounding requires significantly more investment ($100,000+) for cleanrooms and equipment. ROI typically realized within 12-18 months.
What compounding niches are most profitable?
GLP-1 agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide), hormone replacement therapy, pain management compounds, and veterinary medications currently offer strong margins and demand.
Do I need special licenses for compounding?
State requirements vary. Most require standard pharmacy licensure with compounding registration. USP 795/797/800 compliance is essential. PCAB accreditation builds prescriber confidence.
