Materials should be retrieved from shelves or drawers prior to compounding a script. On the left-hand side of the balance, all of the materials are maintained.

Three times each container of material should be inspected during compounding. (i) As soon as they are removed from the shelves/drawers (ii) Measurement of materials. (iii) When the containers are placed back on the shelves or drawers, the process is complete. It is recommended that just one prescription be prepared at one time.

It should be created under the supervision of the doctor or in accordance with pharmacopoeia or formulary instructions. It is important to fill the containers with the prepared compounds.
