If compounding a non-sterile product, is compliance with division 45 required?

In Oregon, compliance with Division 45 is required for both sterile and non-sterile compounding. This means that all compounding activities, regardless of whether the product is sterile or non-sterile, must adhere to the standards and regulations established in Division 45 to ensure quality and safety. The regulations are in place to ensure that compounded medications meet specific criteria for preparation, labeling, and dispensing, aiming to protect patient safety and maintain the integrity of compounded products.

By adhering to these guidelines for non-sterile compounding, pharmacists can help minimize the risks associated with compounding, such as contamination or error in the formulation. This comprehensive approach underscores the importance of compliance in the practice of pharmacy and helps ensure that all compounded products are safe for patient use.
