Compounding is the art and science of making personalized medications, either sterile (like IV solutions) or non-sterile (like creams and capsules).
Every step—from measuring ingredients to labeling—must be exact to ensure patient safety.
A hospital patient can’t swallow pills, so you compound a liquid version of their medication, following strict guidelines.
A technician prepares a sterile IV antibiotic for a hospitalized patient, using aseptic technique.
A child needs a flavored liquid medicine, so the technician compounds it from tablet form.
