The Three Pillars of Category 3: Three foundations behind every extended Beyond-Use Date

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED ON JULY 28TH, 2026


Category 3 compounding promises extended BUDs, more operational flexibility, and broader service capabilities. Those benefits don't come from a dating policy. They come from the three foundations underneath it: qualified personnel, a real environmental monitoring program, and stability testing that holds up. This webinar walks each pillar honestly — what each one actually costs to do right, and what compliance and quality look like inside a working Cat 3 program.
 
What you'll take away:
  • The qualification standard for Cat 3 personnel — and where most programs underestimate it
  • Building an environmental monitoring program that produces data, not assumptions
  • How stability testing actually justifies an extended BUD — and what doesn't count
  • Operational and compliance considerations before pursuing Cat 3
  • Real-world tradeoffs from a working pharmacy
