Compounding pharmacists are responsible for procuring and establishing a variety of engineering safety controls and precautionary measures to protect themselves and staff members from the hazards of working with non-sterile compounding ingredients and powders.
One major occupational hazard that presents itself during these compounding procedures is the potential for drug inhalation, especially when working with powder ingredients.
Torpac, Inc® ― a manufacturer of custom capsules, soluble containers and capsule filling systems for compounding pharmacies ― offers a full line of compact, benchtop capsule fillers. Models include: ProFill 100, ProFill OE, ProFiller 3600, ProFiller 3700 and ProFiller 3800 (These models have replaced the ProFill 3006, 3007, 3008 and 324).
