Changes and their impact

<797> - Sterile Preparations: Changes include mandated stability testing to determine BUDs.

FAQ's:
State-regulated compounding pharmacies must adhere to Beyond-Use Dates (BUDs). Beyond-Use Dates are assigned to compounded medications to indicate the date after which the medication should not be used, as determined by the pharmacy's stability testing or other considerations.
