View Full Profile →Why Partner with a Texas-Based 503B Facility?
For hospitals, clinics, and health systems operating in Texas, sourcing compounded medications from an in-state 503B outsourcing facility offers several key advantages:
- Logistical Efficiency: Shorter shipping distances mean faster delivery times and reduced shipping costs, especially for temperature-sensitive sterile preparations that require cold-chain management. A facility in Houston can typically deliver to hospitals across the state within one business day.
- Regional Expertise: Texas-based facilities understand the unique needs of the state's healthcare market, including the high-volume demands of the Texas Medical Center in Houston, one of the largest medical complexes in the world.
- Simplified Audits: Many healthcare systems conduct on-site vendor audits before adding a 503B facility to their approved supplier list. Partnering with a local facility makes these audits more practical and cost-effective, without requiring expensive out-of-state travel.
- Supporting the Local Economy: Partnering with Texas-based compounding facilities keeps healthcare dollars within the state and supports the growth of the local pharmaceutical manufacturing sector.
Navigating Compounding Regulations in Texas
503B outsourcing facilities in Texas operate under a dual regulatory framework. At the federal level, they are overseen by the FDA and must comply with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). At the state level, they must also maintain licensure and good standing with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy (TSBP).
The TSBP oversees all pharmacy operations in Texas, including licensing, inspections, and enforcement of state pharmacy laws. While the FDA is the primary regulatory authority for 503B facilities with respect to cGMP compliance and product quality, the TSBP ensures that these facilities also meet state-level requirements for pharmacy operations, pharmacist oversight, and record-keeping.
Healthcare providers in Texas should verify that any 503B facility they partner with is both FDA-registered and in good standing with the TSBP. For more on the differences between federal and state oversight of compounding pharmacies, see our guide to 503A vs. 503B pharmacies.
