The objective of this study was to identify whether compounding oral suspensions with SyrSpend SF based on tablets or capsules is a suitable alternative for using raw pharmaceutical materials. Suspensions based on 5 different tablets and capsules were studied in SyrSpend SF. The summary of product characteristics of these different tablets and capsules were obtained from the manufacturer. Our hypothesis was that, if the maximum beyond-use date of the study was reached, the excipient did not seem to have an influence on the stability of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) within the studied time frame. All excipients used in flecainide acetate, labetalol HCl, and tiagabine HCl tablets as well as in celecoxib and oseltamivir capsules did not seem to influence the beyond-use date of the overall suspension based on SyrSpend SF. Although using raw materials as API sources is preferred, oral suspensions with SyrSpend SF prepared from crushed tablets or opened capsules could be a possible alternative. Based on this study, a wide range of different excipients does not seem to impact the beyond-use date of different APIs compounded in SyrSpend SF.
The pharmacy compounding of personalized preparations has evolved a great deal, and with it, the way of working and the legal requirements have also evolved. An adequate pharmaceutical quality system for personalized preparations presents fundamental differences with respect to the system designed for industrial medicines since the size, complexity, and characteristics of the activity of the manufacturing laboratory and the applications and uses of the manufactured medicines must be taken into account. Legislation must advance and adapt to the needs of personalized preparations, filling the deficiencies currently found in this field. The limitations of personalized preparation in its pharmaceutical quality system are analysed and a method based on a proficiency testing program specially designed to overcome these limitations is proposed: the Personalized Preparation Quality Assurance Program (PACMI). This method makes it possible to expand the samples and destructive tests, and dedicate more resources, facilities, and equipment. It allows for more in-depth knowledge of the product and the processes used, and for proposed improvements that increase the overall quality for improved patient health. PACMI introduces tools used in risk management in order to guarantee the quality of an essentially heterogeneous service: personalized preparation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
