Study of problematic aspects of homeopathic medicinal products compounding

Abstract

This article presents the results of study of problematic aspects of the organization of homeopathic medicinal products (HoMP) compounding in the pharmacies by studying the distribution of the formulation during the working day. Significant fluctuations in its index have been determined for extemporaneous compounding of HoMP according to individual prescriptions and for intrapharmacy compounding according to frequent prescriptions. It was found that within these conditions, the workload on the employees of homeopathic pharmacies (departments) also varies a lot, making it difficult to use common approaches to logistics and staffing of the production function of homeopathic pharmacies (departments) depending on the time expenditures for individual production processes. The lines of the further researches for the justification of production processes standardization have been established in order to eliminate the identified problematic aspects of HoMP compounding in the homeopathic pharmacies (departments).
