What should a Master Formula include?

  1. The brand names of ingredients

  2. Personal preferences for mixing

  3. A compound's official or assigned name, strength, dosage form

  4. Only the final product description

The correct answer is: A compound's official or assigned name, strength, dosage form

A Master Formula, or master prescription, is a document used in compounding pharmacies to guide the creation of medications by listing the ingredients, quantities, and instructions for preparation. It should include the compound's official or assigned name, strength, and dosage form to ensure accuracy and avoid errors. The brand names of ingredients and personal mixing preferences may vary and are not necessary to include in a standardized Master Formula. As for option D, the final product description is also important to include but should not be the only information listed in a Master Formula.
