Phase II: Using a variety of sources including, but not limited to, State Boards of Pharmacies, FDA District Offices, Veterinary Journals, Veterinarian Interviews, Trade Magazines, and Internet searches develop a comprehensive list of compounding pharmacies. Phase III: The inventory should include the firm name, full address, telephone number, website, and approximate size of business. Please include same information for all affiliated firms. Include the State(s) of licensure, and whether the firm compounds only veterinary drugs or also human drugs. Include the names of all drugs being compounded and the sources of these drugs.
