This book provides a source for contemporary practice previously found spread out over journal articles, legal documents, standards of practice, specialty books and textbooks. It goes through the steps of receiving the prescription, preparing it and completing the compound. Includes a back-of-the-book CD-ROM that complements the text with study guides, interactive self-assessment and multimedia demonstrations of compounding procedures for key chapters.
Bought for pharmacy school, I liked it as a guide during compounding lab. The video clips on the CD-ROM accompanying this book were also helpful to see how to do some of the more complicated labs.
