In conjunction with USP<797>, which covers hazardous drug compounding, USP<800> became official on November 1st, 2023 — which means you could already be out of compliance!

If your facility has hazardous drugs, compliance with USP <800> regulations is critical.

Failure to comply would be a huge problem for your facility. Not only could it result in fines, but it would endanger patients and your staff.

  • 8M+ US healthcare workers are exposed to hazardous drugs every year*
  • Pharmacists, technicians and nurses are at highest risk for exposure, but it doesn’t stop there

Recent revisions have created questions about requirement changes and their impact on your facility.

What are hospitals and pharmacies required to do? What steps need to be taken to prepare? What if my State Board of Pharmacy asks what I’m doing to comply? You need the answers to these common questions.

It’s imperative to know and understand your responsibilities under USP’s General Chapter <800>.

Fortunately, you can prepare with our quick and easy compliance checklist! Compiled by in-house industry experts, this checklist helps answer your lingering questions, sets your pharmacy up for success and saves valuable time — time better spent on patient care.
