The quantity of a specific API is important in determining engineering requirements,
The cumulative impact of multiple combination of APIs each of which pose an individual risk must be taken into account.
Inclusion of the occasional compounding of a HD preparation influences risk levels
All these factors need to be collated into one definitive decision.
