Editorial: New Addition to CompoundingToday.com

The International Journal of Pharmaceutical Compounding is proud to announce that King Guide to Parenteral Admixtures is now available through CompoundingToday.com. Log-through access to King Guide to Parenteral Admixtures - the standard in injectable drug compatibility since 1971. King Guide contains published, peer-reviewed information on over 500 intravenous (IV) drugs in 12 fluids from over 3,000 primary source references. It is not necessary to purchase CompoundingToday.com to subscribe to the King Guide; it is a separate, standalone product.

As a "standard" reference in hospital pharmacy world wide, the King Guide is a proven, authoritative resource for pharmacists, nurses, physicians, and other practitioners involved in the preparation and administration of IV drugs.

The King Guide, which is available online, in print, and as wall charts, contains:

  • Published, peer-reviewed information
  • Original research
  • Quarterly updates
  • Over 500 IV drugs in 12 fluids
  • Over 3000 primary source references
  • Tried and tested for over 41 years in hospital pharmacies worldwide

Prevent Medication Errors: The single largest cause of medication errors is "incomplete" information and potentially the most costly are those involving IV drug therapy. Immediate access to accurate, up-to-date, authoritative highly specialized compatibility information is therefore essential if such medication errors are to be avoided.

By providing the King Guide on a variety of media, practitioners can quickly look up compatibility and stability information at any time. Simply put, there is a King Guide for every setting, often for less cost than a single, improperly prepared admixture which must be discarded.

The King Guide also includes:

  • Information on the routes, dosages, temperatures, and containers used to determine compatibility and stability
  • Special sections on stability
  • Y-Site, syringe, and other sets/container specific information
  • Extensive TPN/TNA data are presented in a format with which comparisons can be made for evaluating the compatibility of similar admixtures.
  • Compatibility symbols in the "grid" provide at a glance compatibility information for 12 fluids and are explained with the routes, dosages, and temperatures reported to determine compatibility and stability.
