Extemporaneous Ophthalmic Preparations

This book provides a list of concise extemporaneous ophthalmic preparations and standardizes the formulation of the products by suggesting specific strength, route of administration, appropriate vehicle, and method of preparation. Pharmaceutical industries have greatly expanded their share of ophthalmic drugs in recent years. However, physicians and pharmacists are frequently called to prepare sterile products intended for ophthalmic use due to lack of availability of licensed drugs in the market. This book contains the most appropriate formulation of each medication based on published and documented stability data. Extemporaneous Ophthalmic Preparations, 2nd Edition has been fully revised featuring new ophthalmic preparations for Intracameral epinephrine, Intracameral lidocaine and Losartan eye drops to name a few. This book is a unique and valuable companion for many physicians and pharmacy practitioners who are frequently engaged in the compounding of sterile ophthalmic preparation.
