Quality Assurance
At Vigor Compounding, we recognize the trust healthcare providers place in their pharmaceutical partners. That's why our quality assurance protocols are built around rigorous, industry-recognized standards. Our strict protocols allow us to uphold our commitment to you and deliver confidence with every dose.
Rest assured that our leadership team has backgrounds in both pharmacy and clinical operations. CEO Edward Zatta, RPh, brings over three decades of experience in sterile compounding and pharmacy innovation, shaping the high standards of safety and compliance that define our practice. COO Tommy Russo adds specialized knowledge in weight loss and aesthetic medicine, with a focus on optimizing provider onboarding and operations.
Their combined guidance ensures that our approach to quality assurance is not only thorough but also aligned with the real-world needs and expectations of healthcare providers.
Committed to Sterility and Safety
Unlike traditional manufacturers, compounding pharmacies customize medications to meet specific patient needs. The high level of personalization that we offer demands even greater vigilance in testing and compliance.
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is a scientific nonprofit organization that sets public standards for the identity, strength, quality, and purity of medicines. Since its first publication in 1820, USP has guided the preparation of drugs to promote consistency and patient safety. Today, USP standards play a central role in federal and state compliance and enforcement activities. They ensure compounded medications meet stringent safety and quality expectations.
Every batch of Vigor's compounded GLP-1 medications and other prescription drugs is sent to an accredited third-party laboratory for comprehensive testing, which includes:
- Sterility, as outlined by USP <71>, to ensure products are free of microbial contamination. This standard involves incubating product samples in culture media under specific conditions to detect the presence of bacteria, yeast, or mold, providing assurance that the medication is safe for injection.
- Endotoxin levels, as mandated by USP <85>, to verify safety. Endotoxins are harmful bacterial byproducts that can lead to serious adverse reactions. Testing under this standard ensures that endotoxin concentrations remain below the acceptable thresholds.
We also adhere to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), which are essential for maintaining pharmaceutical-grade quality throughout the compounding process. In addition, we only use active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) sourced from FDA-registered manufacturers, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity and consistency in every formulation.
