I’ve been a pharmacist a long time...25+ years...so I remember the days when it was a rare occurrence that a pharmacist would be yelled at or berated. Now it seems like it’s a daily happening. In the span of 2 hours (9-11am) at my local independent pharmacy... A nurse from a cardiologists office ber

I had no problem compounding different active ingredients with geometric dilution, but this is the first time I have to compound an api, levothyroxine sodium, which imply a very extreme ratio between active ingredient and excipients, because I need only 100µm of active per cap.
