Contemporary Prescription Compounding Course

Contemporary Prescription Compounding is a 16 hour course. The overall goal of this program is to provide the pharmacist who has minimal or no experience in contemporary prescription compounding with a theoretical and practical basis on which to build a successful non-sterile prescription compounding practice that complies with Good Compounding Practices (GCPs) espoused by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy and which leads to enhanced pharmaceutical care.

· perform basic pharmaceutical calculations required to accurately compound various non-sterile dosage forms

· discuss the appropriateness of compounding drug products that are available commercially
