Pharmacy compounding for an identified individual patient must be based on:

  1. The pharmacist's discretion

  2. A valid prescription

  3. An online order

  4. A phone call request

The correct answer is: A valid prescription

Compounding pharmacies are responsible for creating individualized medications for specific patients. These medications are tailored to meet the specific needs and health concerns of that patient. Therefore, it is important for compounded medications to be based on a valid prescription written by a licensed healthcare professional. This ensures that the medication is appropriate for the patient's condition and that the dosage and ingredients are safe and effective for their unique needs. Options A, C, and D do not provide the necessary oversight and expertise of a healthcare professional, making them incorrect choices.
