Adoption of USP Compounding Standards

Kansas House Bill 2068 was passed by the Kansas Legislature and signed by the Governor earlier this year. Among other things, the new law adopts the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) <795>, <797>, and <825> compounding standards under the Kansas Pharmacy Act effective July 1, 2027. The full text of the bill can be found at https://www.sos.ks.gov/publications/Register/Volume-45/PDF/Vol-45-No-18-April-30-2026.pdf.

The Board is in the process of drafting amendments to Article 13 of the Board's regulations consistent with USP. Regulations will outline facility and personnel requirements for compliance and establish exemptions or waivers from the requirements. Stakeholders, including the Compounding Coalition, will be included in the review process prior to formal promulgation and potential adoption.

Ask a Board Inspector about Compounding Compliance

Submit your question below about compounding compliance in your facility! While the Board is not a consultant agency and staff cannot provide legal advice, we will do our best to provide a response. When possible, we will also include anonymized questions and answers on this site and in the Board Newsletter for education for the pharmacy community on compounding.

The Board encourages submissions to include as much detail as possible. While anonymous questions are welcome, providing a legitimate contact and facility information ensures better context for inspectors and a more meaningful response. The primary objective of this Q&A is education and compliance.
