Abstract

United States Pharmacopeia <795> states that to ensure accuracy and completeness, the compounder shall observe the finished preparation. One such verification method described in United States Pharmacopeia <1163> is weight assessment of final nonsterile compounded preparations. This article will focus on this weight-assessment technique and discuss common pitfalls and tools which can be used to better comply with current industry quality-control guidelines.
