This session provides a comprehensive and engaging overview of nonsterile compounding in pharmacy practice, highlighting both its critical role in patient care and the responsibility it places on healthcare professionals. It walks through the foundational concepts of compounding: what it is, when it’s appropriate, and why it’s essential for meeting individualized patient needs. Then, the session dives into the complex regulatory landscape that governs it, including federal laws, state oversight, and key standards like USP <795>. The presentation emphasizes the pharmacist’s central role in ensuring safety, quality, and compliance, from clinical decision-making to training, documentation, and error prevention. It also explores the systems and organizations that support oversight and accreditation, while reinforcing the importance of teamwork, standardized processes, and building a culture of safety.
Learning Objectives:
This session delivers a practical and engaging deep dive into the calculations that underpin safe and accurate non-sterile compounding, emphasizing that even small mathematical errors can have significant clinical consequences. It guides learners through essential calculation concepts ranging from unit conversions and ratios to percentage strength, dosing, and formula adjustments. These topics are reinforced with clear, step-by-step examples drawn from real-world pharmacy scenarios. The presentation also highlights more advanced applications such as reconstitution, alligation, density and specific gravity, and dosage form calculations, all framed within the pharmacist’s responsibility to verify accuracy and ensure patient safety.
Learning Objectives:
Identify important equations and calculation methods for non-sterile compounding
Perform pharmaceutical calculations required to accurately prepare compounded non-sterile preparations
Convert between common units of measure
Apply strategies to prevent errors in non-sterile compounding calculations
This engaging monograph provides an engaging and clinically relevant exploration of the building blocks of nonsterile compounding, focusing on how formulation components and dosage forms come together to create safe, effective, and patient-centered medications. It highlights the critical roles of active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients, emphasizing the importance of ingredient quality, compatibility, and regulatory standards in ensuring preparation stability and therapeutic success. The content then brings these concepts to life by examining a wide range of dosage forms, from powders and capsules to suspensions, ointments, and suppositories. Throughout, the material reinforces the pharmacist’s role in making thoughtful formulation decisions, identifying potential stability issues, and optimizing medication delivery.
Learning Objectives:
Components and Dosage Forms
Identify active ingredients and excipients used in non-sterile compounding
Differentiate between non-sterile compounding dosage forms based on formulation characteristics and intended use
Evaluate considerations that influence formulation stability and quality
Match non-sterile dosage forms with their appropriate routes of administration

This session delivers an engaging and practical exploration of the techniques and safeguards that ensure nonsterile compounding is performed accurately, safely, and consistently. It walks learners through the full compounding workflow from preparation and calculation to compounding, quality control, packaging, and final documentation. The presentation highlights essential hands-on skills such as weighing, measuring, mixing, and dosage-form–specific methods, while also underscoring the importance of proper garbing, hygiene, and adherence to USP <795> standards. Beyond technique, it dives into quality assurance principles, including documentation, beyond-use dating, labeling requirements, and systematic quality control checks across different dosage forms. The session also takes a critical look at common compounding errors and their root causes, reinforcing the need for strong processes, training, and system-based prevention strategies.
Learning Objectives:
Explain how to garb with personal protective equipment (PPE) used for hazardous and non-hazardous nonsterile compounding
Describe weighing, measuring, and mixing techniques
Explain the compounding process for nonsterile dosage forms
Identify strategies pharmacists can implement to minimize compounding errors
Explain quality assurance and quality control processes pertinent to nonsterile compounding
This final session provides a compelling and practical overview of how compliance, risk management, and operational design come together to support safe and effective nonsterile compounding. It explores the complex regulatory landscape spanning federal laws, state board oversight, and USP <795> standards while emphasizing the pharmacist’s responsibility to ensure every preparation meets strict quality and safety expectations. Through real-world scenarios and case examples, the material highlights how gaps in documentation, training, and workflow can quickly escalate into serious patient safety risks. It then shifts to solutions, outlining structured approaches to risk management, quality assurance, and error prevention, including the critical role of standard operating procedures, robust documentation systems, and system-based safeguards.
