Which reference is noted for compounding and pharmaceutics?

  1. Allen's

  2. Merck Index

  3. USP compounding compendium: 795, 797, 800, NF

  4. Trissel's

The correct answer is: Allen's

Allen's is the most appropriate reference for compounding and pharmaceutics because it provides comprehensive information on drug formulations and the compounding process. The Merck Index is a general reference for chemicals and pharmaceuticals, but it does not specifically focus on compounding. The USP compounding compendium is useful for specific guidelines and regulations, but it may not cover all aspects of compounding. Trissel's is a reference specifically for sterile compounding, so it would not be the best choice for general compounding and pharmaceutics.
