Is there a separate licensure requirement for sterile compounding pharmacies in Guam?

In Guam, there is no separate licensure requirement specifically for sterile compounding pharmacies. All pharmacies, including those that engage in sterile compounding, must meet the standard licensure requirements set forth by the Guam Board of Pharmacy. These requirements encompass the broader regulations that govern pharmacy practice, ensuring that all pharmacies, regardless of the specific services they provide, adhere to the same standards of safety, efficacy, and compliance with state and federal laws.

This approach simplifies regulation by establishing a unified framework for all pharmacies, instead of creating distinct licensure requirements for various types of compounding. It emphasizes that the focus is on the overall licensure rather than segregating it based on the nature of pharmacy services offered. Thus, a pharmacy engaged in sterile compounding still operates under the general pharmacy license as opposed to requiring a separate or additional license.
