The Importance of Non‑Sterile Compounding in the Healthcare Industry
Non‑sterile compounding is used to create medications in a clean environment (without aseptic techniques) that are administered in a way that does not have a high risk of infection. It plays a vital role in providing customized medications for patients who cannot use commercially available products.
Key benefits of non‑sterile compounding
| Aspect | How it supports healthcare |
|---|---|
| Patient Safety | Minimize contamination while ensuring medications are compounded with the correct doses. |
| Personalized Medicine | Prepare capsules, creams, medicated lollipops, and gels, tailored to individual needs (dosage, flavour, texture). |
| Regulatory Compliance | Meet USP (795) set standards and maintain compliance. |
| Efficiency & Waste Reduction | Customized doses can minimize waste and avoid errors in standard dosing |
