Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"This book is of high quality and useful to pharmacists and technicians. There are few books about compounding in the pharmacy literature that are this comprehensive and readable.[sic] ...this text is analogous to a complete compounding program. As a general book about sterile compounding, this is an excellent start. As many changes have occurred in the last five to ten years to healthcare in general and specifically areas of sterile products, this edition is justified, coming seven years after the previous one."

-- Lawrence Carey, BS, PharmD (Temple University School of Pharmacy) Doody's Review

Audience

The book is written for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and students. Anyone working in compounding facilities, hospital IV rooms, or home infusion agencies would indeed benefit. While the authors do not list specific subgroups, I agree that any pharmacist or technician in any venue of practice would find this text immensely helpful. This book meets the needs of all those intended audiences. Moreover, the authors, contributors, and reviewers of the text are well-known in the areas of hospital pharmacy as well as in sterile compounding, and some are internationally renowned based on what they have published and contributed to the body of work within sterile compounding.
