The proposed revisions to USP General Chapter <797> Pharmaceutical Compounding – Sterile Preparations are now available for a second round of public comment. USP General Chapter <797> provides standards for compounding quality sterile preparations.
Since the first public comment period, which began in September 2015, there has been significant input from stakeholders including roundtable meetings, discussion forums, and review of more than 8,000 written public comments. The Expert Committee has reviewed all of the public comments from the September 2015 proposal along with additional guidance from many stakeholders to propose a new revision for a second round of public comment. To supplement the review, expert consultants have been engaged to assist the Expert Committee during this revision process.
The proposed chapter is available for download. Please provide your comments no later than November 30, 2018 using the electronic form.
