Your Monthly Med Safety Tip from APMS:

COMPOUNDING MASTER FORMULAS RECORDS (MFRs)
✅ Necessary for compliance with USP and local regulations
✅ Standardizes procedures/assures consistency when preparing extemporaneous products
✅ Includes documentation of quality control checks at critical steps
✅ Essential in addition to the separate Compounding Record (CR)

Does your pharmacy have and follow a written procedure to assure that the accuracy of MFRs and CRs are independently verified and documented before they are used in production and before any formulation changes or procedural changes are made?

For more information, or to get your Medication Safety and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) program started, go to https://link.edgepilot.com/s/b3fe4c15/yfaQ8leXd0GTXH38D7HGYw?u=https://medicationsafety.org/sign-up.php or give APMS® a call at (866)365-7472.
