Abstract

Extemporaneous dispensing is a manual process where a manufactured product may undergo modification or made from raw ingredients, performed by a dispenser or pharmacist, who has to incorporate all the necessary ingredients according to a physician’s prescription, a drug formula, or a recipe in which calculated amounts of ingredients are made into a homogenous mixture. Whilst most medicines are commercially available, however, some medicines cannot be purchased from large companies.
