Review: Trissel’sTM is the only book available that provides information on the stability of compounded formulations. Such preparations are in increasing use in oral, enteral, topical and ophthalmic drugs, among others, that are prescribed for patients who need specialized or individualized medicines. The main part of the book consists of 355 alphabetically arranged monographs on different drugs, each monograph including the properties of the drug, stability considerations, stability reports and compatibility with other drugs. United States Pharmacopeia guidelines on beyond-use dating for sterile and non-sterile compounds are given in two appendices. This book is an important reference work for all those involved in the preparation of compounded medication.
