THE Pharmacy Board of Australia reminds pharmacists that its guidance around compounding of sterile injectable medicines has now been brought into effect.
The Board published the guidance on 01 Aug last year to give pharmacists enough time to become familiar with it and implement the required changes in practice before it came into effect.
The guidance provides additional advice to pharmacists who compound sterile injectable medicines to help reduce the associated risks for patients.
The Board has also updated its FAQ page - pharmacyboard.gov.au.
