What is a medicine?
- A pharmacologically active substance (drug substance, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API))
manufactured into a suitable dosage form (drug product)

- Dosage form consists of active compound(s) plus excipients (hulpstoffen)
- API and dosage form determine the biopharmaceutical properties
- Biopharmaceutics is leading for the (design of) the dosage form and the route of administration

Excipients
- Excipients are part of each formulation, in order to
- Facilitate production
- Improve quality of the product
- Optimize performance of the product
- Increase patient acceptability and compliance

,Pharmacy preparations
- European Pharmacopoeia definition: The ‘manufacture’ of unlicensed pharmaceutical
preparation by or at the request of pharmacies to other healthcare establishments

- The (Dutch) pharmacist is legally allowed to prepare and dispense pharmaceutical dosage forms
in response to a health practitioner’s prescription
- Competent by education, training and practice

Why pharmacy preparations?
- To optimize pharmacotherapy for a patient
- Commercial products insufficiently meet specific requirements
- Commercial products are unavailable
- Tailor-made approach
- To increase patient compliance
- More flexibility
- Better acceptance by the patient (convenience)
Personalized medicine!


When pharmacy preparation?
- Dose adjustment
- Dosage form adjustment (other route of administration)
- Hypersensitivity to excipients
- Unavailability of a product on the market
- Modification of industrial preparation
- Short shelf-life (immediately given to the patient)
- Investigational medicinal product

Case
- Anne, 8 years, uses sodium valproate oral solution (Depakine) as prophylactic against epilepsy.
She now suffers from nausea and vomiting. The physician asks the pharmacist to replace oral
sodium valproate by an appropriate rectal dosage form for a period of 4 days

- The pharmacist prepares and dispenses Valproic acid suppositories 250 mg (standardized
preparation, according to the Dutch Pharmacist’s Formulary), after he has controlled the dose.


Types of pharmacy preparations
- Compound from raw materials
- Drug substance(s) + excipients
- Manipulated (commercially available) licensed dosage forms
- Risk of pharmaceutical technological and biopharmaceutical problems
- Pulverizing tablets to make capsules
- Conversion of oral solid dosage form into oral liquid dosage form
- Preparation prior to use
- Product designed to undergo such handling
- Reconstitution of injection fluid (dissolve powder and fill sirange)
- Filling medication pump with injection from ampoule
- Dissolving freeze-dried antibiotic in water to create oral solution
- Dutch: VTGM = voor toedoening gereedmaken

Compounding: examples
Suppository, Mixing, Capsules filled, Medication cassette
