Q

non-sterile compounding

A
  • prepare a dose or formulation taht is not commercially available: such as
    —> Changing a solid tab to liquid
    —> compounding an ointment 10% when only 5% and 15% available
  • avoid an excipient (ex. dye, gluten)
  • add a flavor to med

non-sterile prep admin include: by mouth, via tube, rectally, vaginally, topically, nasally or in the ear

Q

USP 795 divides non-sterile compounding into three categories based on complexity

A
  • simple: following instructions (kits, w/ step by step)
  • moderate: specialized calculations or procedures, or making a preparation that no established stability data. (ex. mixing two topical creams when stability data for mixture is not available)
  • complex: requires specialized training, equipment, facilities or procedures (ex. transdermal dosage forms)

Q

specifically designated for non-sterile compounding

  • separate location
  • performed in ambient air (room air)
  • separated from the dispensing part of pharm
  • all components, equipment should be stored off the floor

two types of water:
