What Happens Now? A Review of USP 797 Revisions

Course overview

The wait is finally over, and revisions to USP General Chapter 797 Pharmaceutical Compounding Sterile Preparations have been released. This chapter was first published in 2008 by the United States Pharmacopeial Convention as a result of and response to patient harm and death that resulted from compounded sterile preparations. Years later, a process of revisions, appeals, and a public comment period resulted in the 2022 updates. These revisions are the culmination of scientific and clinical practice advancements and stakeholder input. This course will review pertinent sections of the revised guidelines and provide guidance for personnel involved with sterile compounding.
