503B Compounding for Uncompromised Quality

Safer medications so you can prescribe with confidence.

Epicur Pharma® brings a unique advantage to the veterinary industry. The 503B facility manufactures drugs with consistent potency, sterility, and purity from batch to batch.

A division of Stokes Healthcare and a sister company of Stokes Pharmacy, Epicur® was developed in 2016 to align with the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) recommended guidelines and requirements for producing high-quality manufactured drugs. The 503B standards put in place reflect current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), the same regulations in place for human pharmaceuticals.

Epicur Pharma® is proud to be a pioneer in animal drug standards, offering one of the largest selections of manufactured drugs that are traditionally compounded. Our commitment to drug consistency and quality emphasizes our devotion to patient safety.

From our Partners

"I am thankful for the professionalism and keen eye toward medical excellence at Stokes and Epicur. There have been several occasions where their fact checking has uncovered potential fraudulent ordering of medications. In these situations, Stokes/Epicur took the care and diligence to discover the discrepancies, alert me to the abnormal behavior, and provide me the option of input rather than just blindly filling. This excellence in patient care and in relationship with the clinician is so critical for trust and accountability. It’s one of the reasons that I keep coming back to Stokes and recommending them to my peers."
