Pharmacy compounding must be supervised by:

  1. A licensed pharmacist

  2. A certified pharmacy technician

  3. Any hospital staff

  4. A regulatory agency representative

The correct answer is: A licensed pharmacist

Compounding in a pharmacy must be done under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist in order to ensure the safety and accuracy of the compounded medication. A certified pharmacy technician, while trained in pharmacy tasks, does not have the same level of education and expertise as a licensed pharmacist and may not have the necessary knowledge to properly oversee compounding. Hospital staff may not have the necessary training or qualifications to properly supervise compounding. A regulatory agency representative may conduct inspections and provide guidance, but they are not responsible for directly supervising compounding in a pharmacy. Therefore, the most appropriate and qualified person to supervise pharmacy compounding is a licensed pharmacist.
