Hot Topics in Pharmacy: Compounding Conundrums: Beyond-Use Date, what a BUD IS and what a BUD ISN’T

With the release of the revised USP <797> guidance, it is important to revisit some of the basics of sterile compounding. The Section of Inpatient Care Practitioner’s SAG on Compounding Practice has developed a three-part series that will cover differing definitions of compounding, beyond use dates (BUDs), and changes from low, medium, and high risk compounding categories. In this second episode of the series, speakers will discuss details around beyond use dating assignments and how that applies to various types of products in our compounding practice.
