Iowa SF2158 mandates inspections of compounding pharmacies and outlines penalties for noncompliance with USP Chapter 795.

Iowa SF2158 establishes procedures for the inspection of compounding pharmacies that compound nonsterile preparations. If an inspector finds a facility out of compliance with USP Chapter 795, they must notify the pharmacist in charge. The bill allows the board to impose a fine of up to $500, adjusted for inflation, if the infraction is not corrected. Records related to the investigation and remediation of infractions are confidential and not subject to public disclosure. The bill also mandates education and instruction for pharmacists if infractions persist after multiple inspections.
