I want to handle a hormonal compound at my facility. Can I do it?
Hormones are tricky and depends on the specific hormone (some are really potent, others are not). Even hormonal compounds from “natural” sources can be "highly-potent" or can be a sensitizer. Each hormonal compound should be evaluated on its own.
The bigger issue is the EMA cGMP requirements which require a significant amount of effort (in the form of a risk-assessment) to ensure that you’re not cross-contaminating products from one product to the next due to the handling of "certain hormones, sensitizers, or highly-potent compounds.” I would read and understand the following document:
If you need assistance in evaluating a specific compound, please contact us.
