USP 795

Meaning

USP 795 refers to the official, mandatory compounding standard established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) that provides the minimum quality and practice requirements for all nonsterile compounding preparations. This standard is critically important for ensuring the safety, identity, strength, quality, and purity of compounded medications, including many personalized hormonal preparations like creams and capsules. Adherence to USP 795 is a legal and ethical mandate for all compounding pharmacies to protect patients receiving tailored hormone therapy.
