ScriptWorks Pharmacy is proud to announce that it has once again achieved accreditation for both the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) and the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB). This esteemed recognition, which ScriptWorks has maintained since 2012, will continue through 2027. Achieving PCAB accreditation highlights our commitment to providing California patients with high-quality compounded medications.
Why PCAB Accreditation Matters for California Patients & Practitioners
PCAB accreditation is a mark of excellence in the compounding pharmacy industry. It ensures that a pharmacy adheres to the highest standards of quality and safety in compounding practices. For patients and providers in California who rely on compounded medications, choosing an accredited pharmacy like ScriptWorks is crucial.
Compounding pharmacies that lack accreditation may not adhere to stringent quality control measures. This can lead to potential risks, such as incorrect dosages, contamination, or ineffective medications. By working with an accredited pharmacy, patients can trust that their prescriptions are prepared with precision, ensuring both safety and efficacy.
The Risks of Non-Accredited Compounding Pharmacies
While many compounding pharmacies offer similar services, not all meet the rigorous standards set by PCAB. Non-accredited pharmacies may cut corners, leading to serious health risks for patients. These risks include:
- Inconsistent Dosage: Without strict protocols, the dosage of active ingredients may vary, potentially resulting in underdosing or overdosing.
- Contamination: Lack of proper sterilization and handling can introduce harmful contaminants into medications.
- Quality Issues: Medications prepared in non-accredited pharmacies may lack the necessary quality controls, impacting their safety.
ScriptWorks Pharmacy ensures that patients receive medications prepared under the most stringent quality standards, minimizing these risks and providing peace of mind.
