A bill moving through the Colorado Legislature could restrict compounding and limit access to customized medications for patients across the state.

For providers and pharmacists, this means fewer options to meet individual patient needs. For patients, it means potential disruptions to therapies they rely on.

If you live or practice in Colorado, join our Government Affairs team in contacting your State Legislators and urge them to oppose this legislation.

Lawmakers need to hear directly from the communities who understand the impact.

Before a medication ever reaches a patient, a pharmacist has reviewed the therapy, ensured a comprehensive understanding of prescriber intent, and stood confidently behind how it supports the best outcomes for that patient.

For many patients, that pharmacist is the final clinical checkpoint before treatment begins. They are far more than processing agents. They are essential partners in therapeutic care.

That level of responsibility was on full display at the FIP World Congress of Pharmacy in Copenhagen, where more than 3,000 pharmacists from 127 countries gathered to discuss how the profession is evolving and where it must lead next.

In a recent episode of Pharmacy Times’ Pharmacy Focus Podcast, Empower’s Director of Government Affairs, Derek Webb, makes the case for how lessons from FIP can strengthen pharmacy practice in the U.S., from over-the-counter allergy care to scope and policy modernization.

We’re proud to have leaders representing in the conversations shaping the future of pharmacy. If you care about where the profession is headed and the role pharmacists play within the care team, this discussion is worth your time.

Derek Webb and Dennis Williams discuss key global learnings from the FIP World Congress of Pharmacy, highlighting how pharmacists worldwide are leading proactive OTC allergy care and what practical strategies US community pharmacies can adopt.

A meaningful step forward for personalized medicine in women’s health.

The FDA has approved updated labeling for menopausal hormone therapy products, reflecting a more current understanding of the evidence and how these therapies are used in practice.

When regulation evolves alongside science, patients benefit. Women deserve accurate information, thoughtful risk evaluation, and access to personalized treatment decisions made in partnership with their clinicians.

We’re encouraged to see this progress.

Compounding plays a vital role in healthcare. For many patients and providers, it serves as the bridge between standardized medicine and truly personalized care.

It’s for this reason that Empower views advocacy as a core responsibility and central to our work, supporting providers’ ability to exercise clinical judgment and protecting patient access to individualized therapies.

We’re encouraged by recent action in Virginia, where HB 917, a bill that could have limited access to compounded medications, did not advance this legislative session. Its delay allows additional time for thoughtful evaluation, open dialogue, and meaningful input from providers, patients, and other stakeholders.

This work matters because access matters.

The FDA is taking a fresh look at how testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is labeled and regulated. They have opened a public comment period to gather real-world experiences with TRT.

Patients and clinicians are invited to share their stories and submit comments directly to the FDA. Public comment is one of the best direct ways to help inform regulatory decisions.

For those who want to contribute, the comment window closes on February 9th. https://bit.ly/4k7R5ua

Patient access to personalized medicine is shaped long before clinical decisions are made.

It requires ongoing advocacy and sustained engagement where regulatory and policy decisions are made.

Last week, Empower’s Government and Regulatory Affairs teams put that commitment into action, representing the interests of patients and providers across key state and federal conversations.

Here’s what that work looked like:

📍 Indiana Board of Pharmacy

On Monday, January 12, Deeb Eid, Jules D’Souza, and Jordan Cuccia attended the Indiana Board of Pharmacy meeting in Indianapolis. They met with Board members, tracked proposed regulatory updates, and monitored legislative activity with direct implications for compounding practice and patient access.

📍 APC Meeting of the Minds

The following day, Deeb Eid and Grace Sesi participated in the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding’s Meeting of the Minds in Alexandria, Virginia. Discussions centered on the direction of federal and state policy, regulatory oversight, enforcement trends, and what these developments mean for the future of compounding.

📍 Capitol Hill

That same week, Edgar Gonzalez, Grace Sesi, and Deeb Eid met with Senator Ted Cruz’s office in Washington, D.C., advocating on compounding and outsourcing facility issues and reinforcing the imperative of maintaining patient access to personalized medicine.

This is the sustained work required to protect personalized medicine. Thank you to the team for consistently showing up where it matters! Swipe through to see their work in action.
