What is Fagron Academy?

Fagron operates in a knowledge-intensive niche market. It is of great importance that the linking pins between us and the patient – prescribers and pharmacists – have thorough knowledge of – the latest developments in – pharmaceutical compounding and the products and services that Fagron offers. We inform and train prescribers and pharmacists about pharmaceutical compounding through our local Fagron Academy platforms in the countries where we operate. Through knowledge sharing, training, courses and educational programs, Fagron Academies increase and improve the pharmaceutical compounding knowledge and skills of prescribers and pharmacists. Fagron works together with various universities worldwide to develop academic programs. We offer extensive training and educational opportunities about, for example, compounding techniques, the use of materials, administration forms and quality and safety procedures.

Prescribers can find an indication and formulas that suits the personal needs of the patient. Pharmacists can find customized formulas with the methods of compounding.
