Compounding documentation with controlled records

Repeatable preparation requires identifiable instructions and a complete actual record. Documentation links decisions to evidence and batches to recipients.

From instructions to actual records

Master record F-002 specifies what should happen. Batch record F-003 records what happened: lots, weights, times, equipment, tests, yield, label and signatures. Enter records when work occurs. A correction retains the original information and adds reason, date and identity. Do not pre-sign results or release decisions.

What each source supports

An official monograph can establish formula and tests without publishing a complete stability study. A product label can support active-drug warnings without covering the compounded vehicle. Assess authority, exact edition and claim applicability. References identify their actual scope of support rather than serving as a decorative list.

Dating with explicit conditions

BUD follows evidence for the actual formula or an applicable default after checking its conditions. A default duration is not a stability experiment. Temperature, container, microbiological condition and component expiries constrain the decision. Numerical rules appear in SOP-014 and PUB-013; record batch rationale in F-006.

Safe handover and learning

Handover links the correct patient, preparation, strength, route and dosing device. Assess understanding through demonstration and teach-back. Investigate complaints or failures using evidence rather than automatically assigning one mechanism. CAPA includes an owner, deadline and effectiveness check so the finding produces a concrete improvement.
