Objectives: Hospital internal-use pharmacies are required to make pharmaceutical preparations in order to obtain a medication in a dosage and/or Galenic form (FG) suitable for pediatric use. The aim of this study is to assess the procedures for continuing pharmaceutical preparations initiated within the Assistance Publique des Hôpitaux de Marseille in an outpatient setting.
Methods: Hospital discharge prescriptions and/or consultation prescriptions involving paediatric magistral preparations and issued by our Hospital Centre were collected from two pharmacies with significant preparation activity at national level.
