• How long can we keep this nonsterile compound before we have to throw it out? — A jar left on the shelf past its BUD is a patient-safety problem and an inspection problem on the same label. Get the educational default table straight — then confirm against your licensed USP 795 text and throw it out on time.
• Can we compound for a doctor’s office with no patient name on the Rx? — A clinic asking for office stock with no patient name is usually not a 503A yes. Get the federal split straight — 503A fills named-patient Rxs; unlabeled office stock often comes from a 503B — then check your board before you compound.
