Non-Sterile Compounding

Meaning

Non-sterile compounding is the specialized pharmaceutical process of preparing customized medications, such as oral capsules, topical creams, sublingual troches, and oral suspensions, in a non-sterile environment. This practice is utilized when a patient requires a specific dosage form, strength, or combination of active ingredients that is not commercially available, often for personalized hormonal replacement therapy. This practice is strictly governed by specific regulatory guidelines, such as USP , to ensure the quality, purity, and stability of the finished preparation.
