Non-Sterile Compounding

Non-sterile compounding is the process where pharmacists create custom medications by combining or altering ingredients for patients who need specific dosages or forms not commercially available. This can include making creams, ointments, liquids, or capsules tailored to individual health needs. It involves precise calculations, measurements, and mixing while following strict safety and quality standards. The goal is to provide personalized treatments when standard medications are unsuitable or unavailable, ensuring effectiveness and safety for the patient.
