🎙️ New episode drop!

January's episode of Essential is here, and it’s one for the policy nerds (and proud of it). We’re welcoming Matt Johnson, President and CEO of Pharma Source Direct, who sits down with Tenille Davis for a smart, slightly nerdy, and genuinely fascinating deep dive into the once and future world of compounded peptides—where things stand today and where they could be headed next.

Meanwhile, our ever-curious host Andrew Kantor digs into the FDA’s revolving door, flags a new California law that could ripple across the country, and spotlights a new accreditation that might just save pharmacies a whole lot of time, stress, and headaches.

🎧 Worth a listen—trust us.

Good news for nonresident pharmacies shipping into Illinois.

After APC flagged delays in obtaining Illinois licensure for nonresident pharmacists-in-charge (PICs), Illinois has issued a variance extending the deadline.

New deadline: March 30, 2026 (originally January 1, 2026)

What this means: Pharmacies can continue serving Illinois patients without disruption while licensure processing catches up.

Important: This is a delay, not a waiver. Nonresident pharmacies should continue working toward compliance by the new deadline.

Appreciate IDFPR for recognizing the real-world impact on patient access, and we’ll keep tracking implementation issues like this as they arise.

We mark a meaningful leadership moment at APC this week.

With real gratitude, we’re thanking and honoring Gina Besteman for her exceptional service as APC Board Chair in 2025. Gina led with steady judgment, a deep commitment to ethical compounding, and the kind of calm, values-driven leadership that strengthens an organization for the long haul. We are better for her leadership.

And we’re thrilled to welcome Philip Smyth as our new Board Chair. Philip brings a practical, patient-first perspective — and, to our knowledge, is the first pharmacy technician ever to chair APC. That matters, because technicians are indispensable to safe, high-quality compounding, and Philip’s leadership reflects the full team behind patient care.

Thank you, Gina — and congratulations, Philip. Here’s to a strong year ahead.

Fat cats to make drugs for fat cats? Like most people, you’ve probably thought, “Why hasn’t someone come up with weight-loss drugs for cats? Fear not — Okava Pharmaceuticals is on the case, planning to enroll 50 cats in a study of its GLP-1 drug, exenatide. No worries about giving Mittens a shot every week: This is a miniature implant that delivers the drug continuously for up to six months.

Tenille talks thyroid. APC Chief Advocacy Officer Tenille Davis was once again a guest on the Radio Health Journal show, this time talking about thyroid health with Dr. Anne Cappola from Penn — specifically, why certain patients are using desiccated thyroid extract, and what’s happening with the FDA’s threatened ban. Give it a listen: https://bit.ly/44yJqOX

Stopping FDA’s “revolving door.” Too many FDA officials are leaving the agency only to take jobs with the very companies they were supposed to have been regulating. This erodes what little trust remains in the agency, argue Lee Rosebush (chairman of the Outsourcing Facilities Association) and Marc Wagner (a pharmacist-attorney) in “It’s past time to update the rules intended to slow the FDA’s revolving door” in Stat News. The agency’s post-employment rules need to change, they say … and they have a plan. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4pQ64uK

A new year means a host of new compounding regulations at the state level, which arguably have a much bigger effect on compounding pharmacists than even federal changes. So what’s happening in your state? Join David Kosar on January 22 for our most popular annual webinar, “Survey of State Compounding Law Changes 2025 and Proposed 2026.”

The title says it all: David will give an important overview of what changed in 2025, the trends he sees, and the compounding laws and regulations being proposed across the country in states’ 2026 sessions. Don’t miss out! The one-hour CE course is just $55 for APC pharmacist members ($25 for technicians and students), and $75 for non-members.
