This episode looks at some smart ways to regulate pharmacy when it comes to med spas and pop-up clinics — ways that won’t cut patients off from their meds. We also look at the latest news on the thyroid-extract front, what’s happening with peptide compounding, and a bill in California that could bode well for pharmacists nationwide. Then we talk with Kristen Jones, PharmD, from Pharmacists Mutual about how insurance companies view compounding, and why compounders are taking a bigger risk than they might realize if they’re compounding peptides.
