The role of Certified and Licensed Compounding Pharmacy Technician at Covetrus Specialty Pharmacy in Phoenix, AZ, is vital to supporting the preparation of customized medication solutions for veterinary patients. This position focuses on compounding commercially unavailable prescriptions into precise dosage forms including sterile injectables, ophthalmics, oral liquids, topical agents, and tablets. While previous compounding experience is welcomed, Covetrus provides comprehensive training to equip technicians with the skills necessary for success in a fast-paced and adaptable environment. The role requires strict adherence to proprietary formulations, regulatory guidelines such as cGMP, USP, and FDA 503B standards, and a commitment to quality assurance and safety protocols.

Technicians will work closely with pharmacists and quality assurance personnel to maintain the compounding lab's cleanliness, document procedures, monitor inventory, and ensure proper disposal of chemicals. Mastery of pharmaceutical calculations, medical terminology, and lab equipment handling is essential.
