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."

"We have learned so much about the manufactured medications that we use. Our staff is loving the iFill platform and we are so excited about Epicur Pharma’s recent Alabama approval for outsourcing. Our 20-year relationship began at the SEVOS meeting and we are so grateful for Stokes and Epicur providing outstanding service and superior products."

"Epicur Pharma is easy to use. From ordering in-clinic drugs to getting client medications, they are readily available and always willing to help, even late in the day on last minute orders. Shipments come quickly in easy to use and easy to understand packaging. The option for getting chemo tablets in blister packs makes everything significantly easier and safer. I can’t say enough positive things about Epicur!"

"We've had nothing but positive experiences! We're helped promptly when we call to place an order. We've always gotten a knowledgeable representative that is happy to help and take the time to get our order correct. It's been an wonderful relationship from the very beginning and I can't thank Epicur enough for treating our practice with a personal touch that we will certainly treasure for years to come. They help us help our patients and that's exactly what we're in this business to do.
