Opportunity for Public Comment on Revisions to USP 797 Pharmaceutical Compounding
On Sept. 25, 2015, the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) Compounding Expert Committee pre-posted revisions to General Chapter 797 Pharmaceutical Compounding – Sterile Preparations for public comment.

The proposed revisions will be published for public comment in Pharmacopeial Forum (PF) 41(6) [Nov.–Dec. 2015] on Nov. 2, 2015.
The USP will hold an open microphone web meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015 at 2 p.m. ET to discuss the proposed revisions.
