Description
Handbook of Extemporaneous Preparation is a comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide to good practice in extemporaneous compounding. The handbook provides:
- standards for extemporaneous dispensing
- stability summaries for the 50 most commonly prepared extemporaneously prepared medicines in NHS hospitals.
- sections relating to clinical risk assessment and advice for procuring "Specials" from manufacturers
- key findings and outputs from the UK National Advisory Board study, including advice on purchasing unlicensed medicines.
Although the standards set out in this book are primarily written for implementation in NHS hospitals, the principles should be equally applied across the profession internationally.
Written by experts in the field with input from the UK NHS Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance Committee.
