Abstract

Two compounding pharmacists critiqued current versions of five compounding software programs, comparing and contrasting each in terms of ease of use and efficiency. Reviewers responded to specific questions and completed a questionnaire. This article presents a summary of their evaluation, accompanied by comments by actual users of each program. The programs reviewed were Compound Assist, The Compounder, Rx Formulator, Prescription Processing System and CompoundIt. A chart shows the ratings for all programs.
