Since its first publication, Extemporaneous Formulations has been the go-to guide for treating patients who require medications that are not commercially available in appropriate forms or dosages for pediatric, geriatric, or special needs.

Now even more comprehensive, the fourth edition provides the same evidence-based formulation in easy-to-follow ""recipes"" for 312 formulations, 129 of which are new.

Each ""recipe"" includes:

Ingredients
Preparation details and instructions
Storage conditions
Special instructions
Alternatives
Expiration dates
References
Documented stability data

An invaluable resource for practitioners, Extemporaneous Formulations also includes a list of standardized concentrations for compounded oral liquids from ASHP’s Standardize 4 Safety initiative.

Compiled by experts in the field, it's the best guidance you can get for the care you want to give.
