COMPOUNDING AND DISPENSING DRUG PRODUCTS
Standards for Compounding and Dispensing Nonsterile Products
Section 639.67033 - Environmental standards

1. Designate a specific area of the pharmacy in which nonsterile compounded drug products will be compounded;

2. Ensure that the area described in subsection 1 has adequate space in which to place, in an orderly manner, the equipment and materials that will be used in the compounding process;

3. Ensure that the area described in subsection 1 is cleaned using an antiseptic cleaning method before and after any compounding occurs in the area to prevent cross-contamination between the previously compounded drug products and any subsequently compounded drug products;

4. Ensure that any equipment used to compound a nonsterile compounded drug product is cleaned after the compounding of that drug product is completed to prevent cross-contamination from occurring when the equipment is used in the compounding process of any subsequently compounded drug products;

5. If the pharmacy compounds both nonsterile compounded drug products and sterile compounded drug products, ensure that none of the equipment which is used to compound nonsterile compounded drug products is used to compound sterile compounded drug products unless the equipment is cleaned and sanitized before the compounding of sterile compounded drug products begins; and

6. Ensure that any employee of the pharmacy who compounds nonsterile compounded drug products washes his or her hands with soap and water or with an antimicrobial agent before and after compounding nonsterile compounded drug products.
