U.S. Compounding Pharmacies Market: Drivers
Increasing demand for pain management therapies in dosages not permitted by the U.S. FDA is expected to boost growth of the U.S. compounding pharmacies market. Compounded drugs used in pain management are not approved by the U.S. FDA and fall under the supervision of State Pharmacies Board. For example, medical guidelines such as the Medical Treatment Utilization Schedule (MTUS) Chronic Pain Guidelines do not support the use of compounds such as Gabapentin and Baclofen for pain management. However, these compounds and their variants are used by compounding pharmacies to enhance their market share.
