DCA Pharmacy Review
Franklin, TN, and among the largest 503A compounding pharmacies in Tennessee, DCA ships under license to 48 states. Its lines are pellet therapy, scar therapy, topical pain management, bio-identical hormone replacement, and sterile compounding. Novo Nordisk named the pharmacy in a 2023 lawsuit over compounded semaglutide; that case ended in a voluntary dismissal.

Accreditations and Standards
Sterile compounding in this country runs on one rulebook, General Chapter <797> of the United States Pharmacopeia[4]. Depending on what is being made, the finished preparation is then tested for sterility under USP <71>[5] and for bacterial endotoxins under USP <85>[6]. Every pharmacy on this page owes those standards already. What follows is what this one has added on top.
What It Compounds
Whether any pharmacy may compound semaglutide or tirzepatide at all turns on where the reference product sits on the FDA Drug Shortage List. When a drug comes off that list the door closes, and it has closed before[7].
