USP Chapter 797 Sterile Compounding Changes

Safety of our medications remains a national focus.  Earlier this year, the United States Pharmacopeia adopted changes to USP 797 that will require all organizations to reassess their medication processes.  This month we begin with Part 1 of our 4 part series: Change on the Horizon = Understanding USP Chapter 797.
