What is compounding in pharmacy?

  1. Direct application of a drug to a patient

  2. The act of delivering a drug from one person to another

  3. Combining two or more ingredients in the preparation of a prescription

  4. Preparing and affixing a label to a drug container

The correct answer is: Combining two or more ingredients in the preparation of a prescription

Compounding in pharmacy refers to the process of combining two or more ingredients in the preparation of a prescription. This can include mixing different medications, altering the form or strength of a medication, or adding flavorings for easier consumption. Option A would be considered administration of a medication, not compounding. Option B does not accurately describe the process of compounding, as it is not simply transferring a drug from one person to another. Option D describes labeling, which is a separate step in the dispensing process and not specifically part of compounding.
