Are the compounded drugs you used in your practice before 2013 equally accessible in 2017?

PointBecause I work at a university hospital, all of our drugs for intravitreal injections in the clinic and others used in the operating rooms come from our hospital pharmacy, which is responsible for purchasing, preparing and dispensing. In addition, we cannot use compounded medications. For instance, brilliant blue G, which is an intraoperative staining agent and may be safer than indocyanine green and widely used in Europe, cannot be used in our hospital operating rooms because it can be obtained only through compounding pharmacies in the United States. Also, because it is not FDA approved, our hospital drug approval committee has not been willing to have us use it.
