"With compounded prescriptions increasing in recent years, a question practitioners need to answer is, "What is the stability of this product after it is prepared?" Trissel's Stability of Compounded Formulations is the only book in print that provides a single compilation of all currently available stability information on drugs in compounded oral, enteral, topical, ophthalmic, and other specialized preparations." "Based on data published over the past 45 years, the reference summarizes specific formulations and stability studies. It will help readers (a) determine whether formulated compounds will be stable for the anticipated duration of use, (b) properly store and repackage compounded formulations, (c) formulate in accordance with documented standards, and (d) counsel patients on the use and storage of compounded medications."--Jacket.
