On September 15, do something for your profession


The Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding has declared Thursday, September 15 as Compounding Advocacy Day across America. Even if you’re unable to attend APC’s Compounders on Capitol Hill event that day, you and your team members can still advocate from afar. 


On September 15, we’re asking you to do a couple of things, and APC is making it really easy for you by providing the messaging (coming soon). Here’s the ask:

 

1) Throughout the day on 9/15, post our four pre-drafted messages on your PERSONAL and PHARMACY social media accounts. We’re talking Twitter, Facebook, LinkedInand Instagram. On Twitter, be sure and tag your members of Congress (all three of them: two U.S. Senators, one U.S. Representative).

2) Send a customized message to your members of Congress, urging them to take action on the three priority issues we’re focused on:

• Preserving patient access to compounded hormone therapy.

• Requesting clarity—and an enforcement extension—in FDA’s GFI 256, regarding animal compounding.

• Authorizing compounders to help fill supply chain gaps when essential drugs are in shortage.


 

More details are coming soon, and the landing page at a4pc.org/advocacyday will open on September 14. For now, circle September 15 on your calendar, alert your teammates, and plan to participate!
