International Compounding Corner

Your hub for real-world sterile & non-sterile compounding insights, resources, and industry-driven learning.

The International Compounding Corner (ICC) was created to bridge the gap between regulatory standards and the practical realities of compounding practice. As the compounding landscape continues to evolve—with new technologies, updated standards, and emerging risks—professionals need more than regulations; they need interpretation, context, and real-world guidance.

Today, the ICC has expanded beyond its original Q&A model to become a dynamic learning platform featuring:

​

Hot Topic Discussions

Where the compounding community comes together to learn, challenge, and advance practice.

The ICC Hot Topics platform brings the compounding community together to explore emerging trends, operational challenges, and evolving expectations in sterile and non-sterile compounding. Each Hot Topic highlights an area of practice that is generating questions, uncertainty, or innovation across pharmacies, hospitals, certification teams, and facility design groups.

Our goal is to promote meaningful professional dialogue—rooted in real experiences, informed interpretation, and shared solutions. Hot Topics offer a space where compounding professionals can examine issues from multiple perspectives, consider alternative approaches, and gain insight into how peers across Canada and the United States are adapting to the same challenges.
