The authors have been teaching Dispensing and Compounding practice for a very long period. One of the challenges in their carrier was the lack of a proper, user friendly and comprehensive reference in compounding to use for teaching and instructing students as well as in hospital pharmacy practice. This book was constructed with this challenge in mind, and therefore simply presents such a reference. It is simply written, covers a wide spectrum of compounding practice with many formulae. The book is also useful for entrepreneurial individuals interested in small scale manufacturing of extemporaneous products.
