[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 177529, member: 3"] From Empower Pharmacy: Empower is still engaging with the FDA and pursuing legislative options to update the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act to allow compounders to continue making HCG and other biologics like we have always been able to. Just as there has never been a risk to a prescriber for prescribing a compounded biologic there will be none to further do so. The Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act was designed to improve access to important biologic medications including insulin. The effect on compounding pharmacies was unintentional, and to stop compounding pharmacies from producing certain transitional biologics that have been compounded for years goes against the intention of this policy. In addition, the off-label use of HCG includes infertility and TRT protocols in men. Urologists and men’s health providers have used compounding pharmacies for years, and compounded prescription data is not reported to the government the same way commercial drugs are reported through insurances, therefore the very large patient population who uses HCG off label has not been accounted for. There isn’t enough commercial supply to meet all patients needs at this time. Until there is enough supply to meet patients needs and the discrepancy in policy has been properly addressed, several FDA registered outsourcing facilities are continuing to supply HCG until further notice. If there is any concern with using compounded HCG, patients can always request a prescription for commercial HCG to fill at a retail pharmacy (You can use GoodRx coupons for 10,000 IU vials [URL]https://www.goodrx.com/hcg[/URL] ) [/QUOTE]
