At its June 30 meeting, the South Carolina Board of Pharmacy approved extending the compounder compliance grace period to 365 days following the Compounding Council’s deadline to establish standards. The board also expanded the council to 12 members (adding a seat for low-risk, non-sterile compounders in retail settings), and it adopted new provisions allowing removal of council members by majority vote. Additional discussions focused on balancing representation, enforcement limitations, and the need for more South Carolina–specific data.
