Description

With the increasing use of compounded prescriptions, practitioners need to answer the question, “What is the stability of this preparation after it is compounded?” Trissel’s™ Stability of Compounded Formulations is the only book in print that compiles all currently available stability information on drugs in compounded oral, enteral, topical, ophthalmic, and other specialized preparations.

Based on data published over the past 60 years, the reference summarizes specific formulations and stability studies. It helps readers (a) determine whether formulated compounds will be stable for the anticipated duration of use, (b) properly store and repackage compounded formulations and some commercial products, (c) formulate in accordance with documented standards, and (d) counsel patients on the use and storage of compounded medications.

Doody's Reviews

Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"This book is absolutely needed because it can be a quite burdensome task to gather all the information in order to compound a particular product. In addition, patient populations go far beyond those studied in clinical trials for the product. This book really gives readers a resource to help them tailor medications."
"This book is the ultimate source for stability of nonsterile compounded formulations, and it is very inclusive, profiling drugs in every class."

-- Nur Kazzaz, PharmD (Temple University Hospital) Doody's Review

Audience

The primary audience is pharmacists, but the book is also useful for others, such as physicians and veterinarians. Healthcare professionals who need a source to help them tailor medications can all use this book. As a pharmacist, I found the book easy to navigate. The terminology it uses is appropriate, but may not be easy to understand for other healthcare professionals. All of the authors have experience in compounding and are considered specialists. Lawrence Trissel has been a big part of the advancement of pharmacy, especially in the compounding of sterile and nonsterile formulations.
