Where can I find compounding recipes for retail compounds?

Are there any hospital or other retail pharmacists that have a source for making compounds? A previous pharmacist that doesn't work for the company had a omeprazole recipe: 24 omeprazole 20mg caps, 1 tsp baking soda and 240 mL of water to make 2mg/mL, but I can't find any source for it? New management wont let any compounds without an "official" compound recipe on file.

Why bother to compound when you can order FIRST®-Omeprazole Compounding Kit (3, 5, or 10 oz) and better chance to get it covered by insurance.

We use a lot more baking soda than that. I think we use about 12 grams. Enough to make it 8.4% if my memory serves.

Whoever you order compounding supplies from (medisco or whoever) should be able to provide basic recipes.

Ah, is management too stupid to remember that a pharmacist has the legitimate authority to formulate as needed?! There are a couple of articles.

Look on facts and comparisons online for an “extemporaneous compounding” section present under some drugs.

If you have a lexicomp book, there is a section in the monograph that states extemporaneous compounding and a formula , especially the Peds book.

They didn't have a section for compounding guanfacine .2mg/mL (we just crush 4 tablets then add 10 mL of ora-plus and 10 mL of ora sweet) and their omeprazole compound says to use sodium bicarbonate 8.4%, but I found a journal article that says it's ok to mix 1 tsp baking soda with 240 mL of water for same conc.

Thanks, I will save that for sure. I wish they had guanfacine on there. Compoundingtoday.com has a formula but I can't get in to see it.

First not covered and insurance state Medicaid denied the PA.

Does anyone have a subscription to compoundingtoday.com? I'm trying to read their compound formulation for guanfacine. Thanks.

1 tsp or 1 tbsp? Either way it won't be the "same conc." as 8.4%, although it probably does get the job done just fine.

The journal article is "The use of omeprazole in the pediatric population" and it's "1 teaspoonful"

Wife has found a lot of good ones here.

Getting an official recipe would suck, I get my recipes from asking friends who are pharmacists how they have made something in the past.

I just get out the weigh boat and measure out 8.4 grams per 100ml of solution.
