Hello! I'm a bit curious about the practice at your pharmacy since it is an extremely grey area. If you repackage (i.e. the FDA definition of repackaging - straight drug into a suitable storage container with no other manipulations) at your hospital, what BUD do you assign to it? For example, a Baxter vial of Potassium Chloride 2 mEq/mL says to discard 4 hours after opening the vial. If you were to repackage this item, what BUD would you assign to it?
The FDA released a guidance document in 2012 that says repackaged products shouldn't have a BUD beyond what is listed in the package labeling. CMS says repackaged SDV should get a BUD per 797 low risk compounding. USP doesn't really say what the BUD should be for repackaging of a SDV.
