I guess there are really two different things. Special access products are products that aren't approved for sale in Canada. Compounding is a way to adapt something that is approved for somebody else. Who pays for the compounding? It depends on the province and it depends on the person's plan. It could be done by the pharmacist. It could be paid for by the formulary in that province or by the patient. Special access products are not paid for that way.
