Compounded medications do not undergo FDA premarket review or approval.
Diverse Care Now • Patient Information
Clear information about prescription treatment, FDA-approved medications, and compounded medications—before any clinical decision is made.
Prescription treatment is considered only after an individual medical evaluation. Medication is not guaranteed, and not every person is a candidate for every treatment.
Required medication disclosure
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. However, compounding pharmacies are subject to applicable federal and state requirements and must follow established standards and processes for compounding, quality, and patient safety.
Compounded medications do not undergo FDA premarket review or approval.
A compounded medication should not be described as the generic version of an FDA-approved product.
Any prescription decision depends on medical history, clinical evaluation, eligibility, and applicable law.
Clear distinctions
The difference is regulatory and clinically important. A provider should explain which type of medication is being considered before treatment begins.
These products have completed the FDA approval process for specific uses and have FDA-approved labeling.
FDA approval does not mean that a medication is appropriate for every person or free from risk.
These preparations may be considered when a licensed provider determines that a compounded option is clinically appropriate and legally available.
A compounded medication must not be represented as identical, equivalent, or superior to an FDA-approved medication.
How decisions are made
Diverse Care Now does not guarantee a prescription or a particular medication. Treatment recommendations are individualized.
Your provider reviews your health history, current medications, treatment goals, and relevant clinical information.
Your provider determines whether prescription treatment is clinically appropriate and whether additional information is needed.
If medication is considered, the provider discusses the type of medication, instructions, potential risks, and alternatives.
Clinical follow-up supports monitoring, questions, and treatment adjustments when medically appropriate.
Laboratory testing: Your provider may recommend testing based on your medical history and clinical needs. Laboratory tests are not included in the weekly care program.
Medication safety
Medication information can vary by product and formulation. Follow the instructions provided with your prescription and contact the clinical team when instructions are unclear.
Medical emergency: Call 911 or seek emergency care immediately for severe or life-threatening symptoms. Do not use website messaging for emergencies.
