What does CSP stand for in pharmaceutical compounding?

• A. Compounded Sterile Products
• B. Central Sterile Packaging
• C. Clinical Sterile Preparation
• D. Controlled Sterile Process

Answer: (A)

Compounded Sterile Products are sterile preparations created by pharmacists or technicians when a commercially manufactured product won’t meet a patient’s specific needs. The term highlights both the sterile compounding process and the final sterile product used for patient care, such as IV solutions, injections, or ophthalmic preparations prepared under aseptic technique in a controlled environment. This distinguishes CSPs from non-sterile compounded meds and from packaging or general-process terminology.
