Study Notes
Compounding vs Manufacturing
- The main difference between compounding and manufacturing is the scale of production: compounding is a small-scale, bespoke preparation of medications, whereas manufacturing is a large-scale, mass production of medications.
Compounding Process
- Compounding involves the preparation of customized medications for individual patients, often by altering the strength, dosage form, or flavor of an existing medication.
True Pharmaceutical Service
- Compounding is considered a true pharmaceutical service when it is done by a licensed pharmacist, using high-quality ingredients and proper equipment, and is tailored to the specific needs of a patient.
Purpose of Compounding
- The purpose of compounding is to provide patients with customized medications that are not commercially available, or to improve the taste, texture, or efficacy of an existing medication.
Scale of Production
- The scale of production for compounding is typically small, with medications prepared in small batches or even individually, unlike manufacturing which involves mass production.
