A bill for an act relating to the inspection of compounding pharmacies, and making penalties applicable.

This bill requires Iowa pharmacy inspectors to follow a three-step process when nonsterile compounding pharmacies violate U.S. Pharmacopeia standards. First, inspectors must notify the pharmacist in charge of the violation. If uncorrected after 30-90 days, inspectors must provide detailed correction instructions; if still uncorrected after another 30-90 days, mandatory education is required. The bill allows a single $500 fine (adjusted for inflation annually) for repeated failures to correct violations, but prohibits additional fines or remedies. It directly affects pharmacies compounding nonsterile medications and their pharmacists in charge, with all inspection records kept confidential.
