What is USP 795?

USP Chapter 795 compounding non-sterile preparations pertains to extemporaneous compounding of pharmaceuticals, which is an integral pharmacy operation, especially in community pharmacies and pediatric hospitals.

Errors and health and safety risks are inherent in nonsterile compounding. USP guidelines for 795 were developed to address specific areas of pharmacy responsibility, including:

  • Staff competency
  • Ingredient quality
  • Equipment maintenance and use
  • Process standardization
  • Safe and appropriate environment
  • Inspection and documentation
  • Accurate Beyond-Use dating (BUD)
