Overview

Pharmacists have been responsible for compounding medicines for centuries. Although most modern medicines are not compounded in a local pharmacy environment, there are still occasions when it is imperative that pharmacists have this knowledge. Pharmaceutical Compounding and Dispensing provides a comprehensive guide to producing extemporaneous formulations safely and effectively. The book covers three core sections: the history of compounding; pharmaceutical forms and their preparation; product formulae. This is a modern, detailed and practical guide to the theory and practice of extemporaneous compounding and dispensing. Fully revised and updated, this new edition will be an indispensable reference for pharmacy students and practicing pharmacists. Supplementary videos demonstrating various dispensing procedures can be viewed online.
