Reviews
5-Star Review: The book's purpose is to put into one compendium all that is needed to know about sterile compounding practice, making it one of the most comprehensive and readable books about compounding in the pharmacy literature.
It is easy to imagine someone with little experience in this area reading this text and getting a very good idea of not only the practice of compounding but also the equipment and the rules necessary to govern it.
