To ensure accuracy and safety in this process, pharmacists rely on Master Formula Records (MFRs). These comprehensive documents provide detailed guidelines for compounding medications, and their significance is paramount. This article discusses the essential role of Master Formula Records (MFRs) in hospital pharmacy operations, highlighting their importance in standardizing compounding practices, ensuring regulatory compliance, enhancing patient safety, and improving overall efficiency. 

What are Master Formula Records? 

Master Formula Records are detailed documents that outline the procedures for compounding specific medications. An MFR typically includes essential information such as ingredients and quantities, required equipment, compounding instructions, storage conditions, labeling requirements, and beyond-use dates. Each MFR serves as a step-by-step guide for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, ensuring accurate and consistent medication preparation.
