Sterile Compounded Medications
Clean Room Equipment
At Atlantic Coast Compounding, sterile custom-made prescription medicines are prepared in a state-of-the-art clean room containing a Laminar Airflow Hood. Our pharmacists have specialized training in aseptic technique and compounding and follow strict aseptic procedures.
All sterile compounding is performed by a pharmacist who is responsible to make sure every aspect of sterile compounding, from the proper storage of chemicals to sterility testing of the finished product, is followed according to aseptic protocol.
Sterility testing is done on all of our sterile compounds, designated as "high risk" by the United States Pharmacopoeia, prior to being dispensed to the patient. All testing is documented and maintained on file, which can give the physician confidence in the quality of our sterile preparations.
Sterile Products
In addition to the sterile pain medications compounded in our aseptic lab, we also compound a wide variety of other sterile products including intravenous and subcutaneous injections, ophthalmic solutions and irrigation solutions. Some examples include:
- Intravenous antibiotics
- Injections - aqueous and oil vehicles
- Ophthalmic solutions and ointments
- IV admixtures
- Inhalation solutions
- Bladder irrigating solutions
- Vitamin / mineral injections
