Handbook of Extemporaneous Preparation
A Guide to Pharmaceutical Compounding
Jackson, Mark; Lowey, Andrew
First edition
Edited by Mark Jackson - Quality Control and Quality Assurance Manager at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, UK and Andrew Lowey - Clinical Pharmacy Manager at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, UK
It incorporates the key findings and outputs from the UK National Advisory Board study, including advice on purchasing unlicensed medicines. It will be adopted as the standard for extemporaneous dispensing for NHS patients. Although the standards set out in this book are primarily written for implementation in NHS hospitals, the principles should be equally applied across the profession internationally.
Written in two parts, this book provides:
- standards for extemporaneous dispensing
- stability summaries for the 50 most commonly prepared extemporaneously prepared medicines in NHS hospitals.
Compounding of pharmaceutical formulations remains a core skill of pharmacists and is taught at undergraduate level. Written by experts in the field with input from the UK NHS Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance Committee, this book will be an invaluable reference for any clinical or procurement pharmacist, pharmacy technician or student involved with extemporaneous preparation.
Handbook of Extemporaneous Preparation is also available as an eBook.

"...this resource offers a real advantage to both the prescriber and the pharmacist in the provision of quality oral liquids...Of particular use and unique to this text is the inclusion of a 'risk assessment' section in each monograph which addresses the clinical and technical risks associated with the extemporaneous preparation of each oral liquid...This book is not only a useful resource, but a valuable addition to the texts available on extemporaneous dispensing for those prescribers wanting quick access to suitable oral liquid alternatives..."
