guidelines on quality assurance for pharmacy prepared sterile products that can be compounded (i.e., prepared from component ingredients) if needed, including capsules or tablets, products like creams and gels that are used on the skin, and medications that are injected into the skin, muscle or vein using a syringe or infusion.
Hospitals use a large quantity of compounded medications, most of which are injectables that must be made according to strict standards to ensure sterility. These include total parenteral nutrition, irrigations used during surgical procedures, ready-to administer dosage forms, chemotherapy, and antibiotic treatments. Nonsterile compounding includes customized dosage forms for special populations such as neonates, infants, and geriatric patients.
