2024 Update: Critical Pharmaceutical Calculations for Non-Sterile Compounding
This presentation focuses on critical calculations essential for non-sterile pharmacy compounding, emphasizing three key learning objectives. Participants will calculate the precise quantity of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) required in a non-sterile compound using aliquots, understand salt form corrections in non-sterile compounding, and develop an aggregate assay correction strategy based on the API's certificate of analysis.
Overall, this presentation equips compounding professionals with the knowledge and skills required for precise non-sterile compounding, enhancing their proficiency in critical calculations and ensuring the safety and efficacy of compounded pharmaceuticals.
At the completion of this activity, the participant should be able to:
- Calculate the quantity of active pharmaceutical ingredients needed in a non-sterile compound using aliquots
- Describe salt form corrections needed for a non-sterile compound
- Develop an aggregate assay correction based on the active pharmaceutical ingredient's certificate of analysis

Our CE is considered for both compounding and law credit in Massachusetts. The compounding modules are designated as law (03); however, they count for compounding (07) as well due to the titling and learning objectives as indicated in MA BOP Policy 2021-04: Continuing Education (CE) Requirements.
CE programs that cover the regulatory component of compounding are acceptable to fulfill the requirement for both compounding and law contact hours as long as the regulatory component is approved as a “law” CE program and the compounding component meets the acceptable program criteria set forth above.
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences designates this educational activity for a total of 1.0 contact hours (0.1 CEUs).
