What is a Sterile Injectable?

An injectable compounded medication is a sterile drug to be administered into the body using a needle and syringe or an I.V. administration set and needle device. There are several routes of administration including:

• Intravenous (I.V.)

• Intramuscular (I.M.)

• Subcutaneous (S.C. or S.Q.)

Injectables must be sterile, have limited endotoxins and must meet labeled potency.
