Which source is used for recipes or formulas in drug compounding?

The source used for recipes or formulas in drug compounding is the IC+ recipes provided by the Support Center because these recipes offer standardized and validated formulations that ensure consistency and safety in compounding practices. IC+ recipes are specifically designed for use in compounding settings and provide pharmacists with detailed instructions on how to prepare various compounded medications.

This is crucial in ensuring that the compounded products meet the necessary regulatory standards and therapeutic effectiveness. The use of these recipes facilitates proper dosing, stability, and quality of the compounded drugs, which is essential for patient safety and effective treatment outcomes. Other sources, such as personal notes or publicly available formulas, may not have the same level of scrutiny or reliability, which can lead to variations in drug preparation. While online medical databases can be informative, they do not specifically provide the structured recipes needed for compounding like the IC+ recipes do.
