Reason for Revision
Patient Safety
In accordance with the Rules and Procedures of the 2010-2015 Council of Experts, theCompounding Expert Committee has revised the General Chapter <795> Pharmaceutical Compounding—Nonsterile Preparations. The purpose for the revision is to remove the reference to sterile preparations in the section General Guidelines for Assigning Beyond-Use Dates. The revision will clarify that the beyond-use date (BUD) in the table “BUD by Type of Formulation” is specific for nonsterile preparations and users should refer to General Chapter <797> Pharmaceutical Compounding—Sterile Preparation for standards on sterile compounding.
The General Chapter <795> Pharmaceutical Compounding—Nonsterile Preparations Revision Bulletin supersedes the currently official General Chapter.  The Revision Bulletin will be incorporated in the Second Supplement to USP 37–NF 32.
