With all of UPI’s compounding preparations, quality is built in from the very beginning.  Testing and verification start with components when delivered to our doors, continues throughout the compounding process, and concludes with the finished preparation.  UPI testing exceeds USP requirements and uses both positive and negative controls to verify test results.

UPI has a full Quality lab that performs Sterility and Endotoxin tests that meet USP specifications.  UPI contracts with three different FDA registered laboratories to verify potency.

UPI is ISO 9001:2008 certified which demonstrates the quality management system is compliant to the stringent set of standards set forth by the International Organization of Standards.  This ensures UPI’s preparations are consistently prepared with care and precision each and every time.

UPI’s purpose statement is “To Improve Quality of Life”.  With this purpose also comes a challenge.  We continually evaluate ways to improve.  A recent gap analysis, using guidelines provided by the International Journal of Pharmaceutical Compounding and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, revealed that UPI is not only compliant with the requirements of USP Chapter, but in many instances, exceeded those requirements.  We strive to:

• Meet or exceed applicable standards and guidelines for the pharmacy industry.
• Consistently improve our facilities and the educational and skill levels of our employees and managers.
• Continuously improve our internal policies and procedures.
• Maintain internal quality standards that meet or exceed customer expectation.

Our success will be measured by the satisfaction of our customers.
