Specially trained pharmacists compound the medications to ensure their efficacy and safety for patients. Achieving PCAB accreditation is a strong statement of GEM Edwards Pharmacy’s commitment to providing high quality compounded medications for their patients nationwide.

“By achieving PCAB Accreditation, our customers can rest assured knowing that our organization follows industry best practices and is in compliance with the most stringent national standards.”
