this at the end of the series because you get it…you understand.
Module 1: What we’re covering today: The definition of a potent compound, the overall drug development process and how potent compound safety fits into the process. Additionally we will review some case studies.Module 2: Introductory toxicologyModule 3: Industrial hygiene sampling; using total dust vs. compound specific methods; wipe sampling; area vs. personal sampling; statistical analysis of resultsModule 4: advance toxicology including carcinogenicity; reproductive toxicology; genotoxicology; and moreModule 5: Control banding; engineering controls; administrative controls; and personal protective equipment

Remember from Module 1, the amount of data that may be available really depends upon where you are in the drug development process. Keep in mind, that in most cases you’re not going to have all the information you need. That’s when you have to rely upon professional judgment and experience. Unfortunately in this field there is “no silver bullet.” For those of you not familiar with that phrase, it’s the expectation that that some new technology or practice will easily cure a major prevailing problem. [It also refers to the myth that only silver bullets would be effective at killing vampires, werewolves, and the like. The Lone Ranger used silver bullets.]
Our first case is a compounding pharmacy. A small employer with approximately 25 employees. They were handling the compounds shown on the screen. Ask the question, “Does anyone know what a compounding pharmacy is?” Click the green check mark if you do, or the red X if you don’t.They make specialty drugs, prescribed by physicians, for drugs currently not available on the market. An example is Balco.
In research facilities, there are processes, just harder to define
