ForwardVeterinary Compounding – A Customized Approach | Lab Training
*The Lab Training is only available as a bundle with the Veterinary Seminar. Please click here for available dates.
Course Format
½-day lab training (4 hours) where you will receive hands-on experience compounding 4 common veterinary dosage forms in a controlled laboratory environment, under the guidance of experts in the field.
Course Description
Complementing the Vet Seminar, this training provides a great hands-on opportunity for compounders to develop their skills in the preparation of customized veterinary medications. For 4 hours, participants will compound from start-to-finish, 4 dosage forms commonly prescribed to veterinary patients, including a transdermal gel, oral liquid, oral paste, and oral chewable treat. Participants will learn important pharmaceutical techniques and protocols required for efficacious, effective, and safe compounding, including cleaning and deactivation procedures, balance calibration, standard operating procedures, formulation calculations, qualitative and quantitative verifications, proper geometric addition and trituration, among more. In addition to the hands-on training, participants will review the key concepts of USP <795>, USP <800>, beyond-use dating, and how to interpret a certificate of analysis (COA) and safety data sheet (SDS). The ultimate goal is to teach detailed procedures and techniques required to uphold compounding quality, as well as save time and money through optimized workflow, methods, and the implementation of innovative technologies. Leave this training with the skills and confidence needed for successful veterinary compounding.
