METHYLCOBALAMIN INJECTIONS AT RISK IN CALIFORNIA

Dear Practitioner, 

 

Your patient's access to methylcobalamin injection from compounding pharmacies is at risk in California.

 

The California Board of Pharmacy is taking a position that outsourcing facilities are better equipped to meet the standard of medication quality for this specific drug. Although rule changes are in discussion phases, it is critical that we work together to educate the Board of the impact and inappropriate direction of this position.

How Can I Help?

Fill out a short survey to provide essential information on the importance of your access to B12 medication from a compounding pharmacy.

How may this impact your patient’s care?

​

The proposed requirement for California patient’s to obtain B12 medication from an outsourcing facility instead of a compounding pharmacy means that you will no longer be able to have your patient’s medication shipped directly to their home or address of choice. You may not be able to select the pharmacy of choice for your patients, as this rule would prohibit Lee Silsby from serving your California patients. Patients would be required to visit your office to receive their medication.  A change to your patient’s therapy may also occur if outsourcing facilities do not manufacture your patient’s specific drug strength(s) and drug combinations.

​

 

Does Lee Silsby meet California sterile medication quality standards?

​

Yes! Lee Silsby goes above and beyond to meet all the quality requirements in California law. In fact - Lee Silsby is proud to lead the way in industry best practices and quality testing. We understand the importance of the California Board of Pharmacy’s role in protecting the public from harm. However, we respectfully take a stand that this current thinking is inappropriate and creates the very public harm they are tasked to protect.
