compounding I: basics Flashcards
U.S Pharmacopeia
sets the standard for compounding preperations.
795 for non-sterile
797 for sterile
+800 if it is hazard..
non-sterile compounding
- 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
USP 795 divides non-sterile compounding into three categories based on complexity
- 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)
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:
- portable (drinkable)
- purified (distilled) for water-containing formulations and for rinsingequipment..
sterile compounding used to prep:
- IV
- IM and subq
- radio pharm
- eye drops
- irrigation
- pulmonary inhalation (not include nasal inhalation)
