SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: Section 503A of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 353a) describes 
the conditions that must be satisfied for human drug products 
compounded by a licensed pharmacist in a State licensed pharmacy or a 
Federal facility, or a licensed physician, to be exempt from the 
following three sections of the FD&C Act: (1) Section 501(a)(2)(B) (21 
U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B)) (concerning current good manufacturing practice); 
(2) section 502(f)(1) (21 U.S.C. 352(f)(1)) (concerning the labeling of 
drugs with adequate directions for use); and (3) section 505 (21 U.S.C. 
355) (concerning the approval of human drug products under new drug 
applications or abbreviated new drug applications).
    One of the conditions that must be satisfied to qualify for the 
exemptions under section 503A of the FD&C Act is that a bulk drug 
substance (active pharmaceutical ingredient) used in a compounded drug 
product must meet one of the following criteria: (1) Complies with the 
standards of an applicable United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) or 
National Formulary monograph, if a monograph exists, and the USP 
chapter on pharmacy compounding; (2) if an applicable monograph does 
not exist, is a component of a drug approved by the Secretary of Health 
and Human Services (the Secretary); or (3) if such a monograph does not 
exist and the drug substance is not a component of a drug approved by 
the Secretary, appears on a list developed by the Secretary through 
regulations issued by the Secretary (the ``503A Bulks List'') (see 
section 503A(b)(1)(A)(i) of the FD&C Act).
    Agenda: The committee will receive information on the following two 
issues to follow up on discussions from previous PCAC meetings: 
Balancing the criteria for the 503A bulk drug substance evaluation and 
compounding as it relates to dietary supplements. In addition, the 
committee will discuss six bulk drug substances nominated for inclusion 
on the 503A Bulks List. FDA will discuss the following nominated bulk 
drug substances: Alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, creatine monohydrate, 
pyridoxal 5 phosphate, choline chloride, and quercetin. The chart below 
identifies the use(s) FDA reviewed for each of the six bulk drug 
substances being discussed at this advisory committee meeting. The 
nominators of these substances will be invited to make a short 
presentation supporting the nomination.
