If a compound is prepared for office use, what must NOT be included in the labeling?

When a compound is prepared for office use, it is intended for administration by healthcare professionals rather than for a specific patient. Therefore, it is important that the labeling reflects this intended use. The phrase "For Office Use" would indicate that the compounded product is not meant for individual patient dispensing, which is the primary reason why this phrase should not be included on the label.

On the other hand, labels designed for office use can include other essential information. Including "For Patient Use Only" would be misleading, as the compound is strictly for office use and not prescribed for individual patients at the time of preparation. "Keep Refrigerated" can be necessary if the compounded product requires specific storage conditions. Additionally, labeling such compounds with "Prescription Only" is pertinent if the product's use is restricted to patient-specific prescriptions, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory standards.
