Compounding Pharmacy Quality

Meaning

Compounding Pharmacy Quality refers to the rigorous standards and regulatory oversight governing the preparation of customized pharmaceutical products by licensed compounding pharmacies. This encompasses the precision of dosage measurement, the purity and source of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and the stability and sterility of the final dosage form. Ensuring high quality is paramount because compounded medications are specifically tailored and lack the mass-production standardization of commercial drugs. This quality assurance directly impacts patient safety and therapeutic efficacy.
