New guidelines for sterile compounding.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) puts out standards for compounding and they've just released a new Chapter 797 related to sterile compounding. Chapter 797 covers a lot of material, some related to personnel and facility testing, as well as batch size limits and changes to beyond use dates. This podcast reviews the relevant changes for your patients and your practice. Pharmacists Jay Gill and Cheri Garvin from The Compounding Center in Leesburg, Virginia guide practices on how to navigate the changes to ensure access to medication is maintained for all our patients. If your patients use B-12 injections, Tri-mix, compounded eye drops, or other compounded sterile preparations this is an important podcast for you.
