What is the BUD for non-sterile non-aqueous compounds under USP 795?

14 days
30 days
6 months
24 hours

The correct answer is: 6 months

The correct BUD, or Beyond Use Date, for non-sterile non-aqueous compounds under USP 795 is indeed 6 months. This standard reflects the stability of non-sterile non-aqueous preparations, which are typically made with substances that do not contain water in their formulation. Since these compounds are designed to have a longer shelf life due to their formulation, they are assigned a BUD of up to 6 months unless otherwise specified by stability data or the manufacturer’s expiration date. Other options represent shorter durations that would apply to different types of formulations. For example, 14 days is typically assigned to non-sterile aqueous formulations, and 24 hours applies to compounds that are classified as immediate-use preparations. Understanding these distinctions is crucial, as they help pharmacists determine how long a compounded medication can be safely used, ensuring both efficacy and patient safety.
