A pharmacist is asked to compound a medication that lacks FDA approval for any indication. The most ethical approach is to:
-
A
Refuse all compounding not specifically FDA-approved
-
B
Compound only when there is a legitimate medical need that cannot be met by a commercially available product
-
C
Compound it freely since compounding pharmacies are exempt from FDA oversight
-
D
Require the patient to sign a waiver and then compound it
