Abstract:
Physicians wishing to make a special compound for an inpatient for the first time, should contact the pharmacy well in advance of its need. Physicians should consider that the cost of compounding is very expensive. Furthermore, it is often less accurate in its dose than manufactured products. This is particularly important to remember with regards to mg/kg dosing. Provided certain conditions are met, the pharmacy will specially compound a product for an inpatient, if it has the ability to do so. Currently, the pharmacy cannot compound or dispense products for outpatients, or provide special compounding services to the BUSM, labs, departments, or clinics. If there are any questions about what can or cannot be done in the way of special formulations, contact the Pharmacy.
