The Science of Pharmaceutical Compounding: Non-sterile Training - Practical Lab
Course Format
2-day live practical lab (12 hours) where you will receive hands-on experience compounding 9 common non-sterile dosage form in a controlled laboratory environment, under the guidance of experts in the field.
Course Description
Complementing the Non-sterile Seminar, this training provides a great hands-on opportunity for compounders to develop their skills in the preparation of customized medications. Over 2 days, participants will prepare from start-to-finish, 9 common non-sterile dosage forms. Participants will learn and practice general compounding lab processes, compounding techniques, operating electromechanical equipment, managing a workstation, cleaning, documenting standard operating procedure logs, qualitative and quantitative verifications, beyond-use dating, and much more. 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 non-sterile compounding.

- Piroxicam 0.5% Topical Hydro-alcoholic gel – build a cellulose-based hydro-alcoholic gel from scratch in an actuated dispenser
- Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 15 mg Lollipops – practice base melting, pouring into molds, and dose-division calculations
- Omeprazole 2 mg/mL Oral Liquid – perform pH testing and pH adjustment for preparation stability
- Oral capsules – become comfortable using a 100-count capsule machine
- Riboflavin 2 mg Troches – achieve the right viscosity for your suspension and mold pouring
- Ibuprofen 330 mg Suppositories – calculate and apply displacement factors
- Melatonin 5 mg Rapid Dissolve Tablets – perform aliquot calculations
- Ketoprofen 2%, Lidocaine 2%, Metronidazole 2% Topical Cream – gain experience with different technology including electronic blade mixers, planetary (no blade) mixers, and ointment mills
