This map shows where drug compounding facilities are concentrated across the US as of 2024.
What is a 503B facility?
These are specialized pharmacies/manufacturers that are legally allowed to produce large batches of custom medications (compounded drugs) — things like customized dosages, injectable medications, or drugs not commercially available — and sell them to hospitals and clinics without a patient-specific prescription.
Why does this matter?
These facilities play a big role in healthcare supply chains — hospitals rely on them for hard-to-source medications. States like Texas and Florida being hotspots likely reflects their large populations, major medical centers, and business-friendly regulatory environments.
