FDA Compounded oral liquid medications

 

The University of Michigan and the Michigan Pharmacists Association joined in a collaboration to improve the safety of compounded oral liquid medications prepared for pediatric patients in Michigan. The collaborators gathered information on the current practices regarding the preparation of oral liquid medications in pharmacies across the state of Michigan, and then developed a set of voluntary standard concentrations prescribers and pharmacists can use in compounding these medications to reduce the potential risk of errors when patients change pharmacies or at transitions of care. Standardization lowers the risk of delivering the wrong dose because of confusion over the concentration of the drug in the oral liquid medication. In one phase, the partners created a website and other communication tools to disseminate information on the standard concentrations.
