Glucocorticoids & Catecholamines: Insights for Addressing Acute and Chronic Stress

This presentation will introduce a more comprehensive approach to evaluating stress hormones to improve treatments for patient care. A traditionally used tool for assessing adrenal hormone function has been the 4-point circadian cortisol curve in saliva or urine, addressing just one part of a multi-factorial stress response. The added benefit of dried urine is that epinephrine and norepinephrine can be measured at the same time as cortisol, allowing the practitioner to get a more complete picture of the stress response system thereby opening multiple avenues for proper treatment to improve patient outcomes.

Quality by Design - Using aspects cGMP to improve quality in the 503A Pharmacy

Consider how Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) can impact quality improvement in the 503A compounding setting. cGMP as prescribed in 21 CFR parts 210 and 211 offers a frame work to the pharmaceutical industry to build quality into every process design to assure only the best final products are released. Many of these concepts can be utilized in the compounding pharmacy with little to no added expense and can vastly improve documentation efforts, process control and quality assurance. This presentation will explore using the available guidance for industry to augment USP <795> and <797> in an effort to improve and elevate quality management in the compounding pharmacy.
