Basics of compounding with acids.
Compounding with acids has presented some confusion in recent years due to a lack of clarity in procedures and the labeling to be used. The difficulty centers around the availability of concentrated acids on a weeght/weight (w/w) basis and the compounding use of dilute acids on a weight/volume (w/v) basis. This article will clarify the confusing areas and attempt to provide a clear procedure for implementation in compounding pharmacies.
