Which chapter sets requirements for storage and transport of compounded preparations?

• A. Chapter 800
• B. Chapter 797
• C. Chapter 71
• D. Chapter 85

Answer: (A)

The correct choice refers to Chapter 800, which specifically addresses the handling and storage of hazardous drugs, including their transport and storage conditions to ensure safety and efficacy. This chapter emphasizes the necessity of maintaining proper environments to protect both patients and healthcare workers, as well as to preserve the integrity of the compounded preparations.

On the other hand, Chapter 797 focuses on sterile compounding practices, primarily outlining practices to minimize contamination risks during preparation rather than specifically addressing the storage and transport of compounded preparations. Chapters 71 and 85 pertain to specific compendial standards and methods for testing the purity and quality of compounded preparations but do not provide guidelines specifically related to storage and transport limits for compounded products.
