The workshops focused on the safety and effectiveness of ingredients used in compounded medications. IACP members Jim Hrncir, Loyd Allen, Gus Bassani, and AJ Day offered comments and answered questions on May 6 in a NASEM workshop on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. IACP members AJ Day, John Voliva, Linda McElhiney, and Gus Bassani offered comments in a May 21 NASEM workshop on topical pain creams.
