Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

For compounded medications that don't fit the two main categories, what is the maximum duration of therapy permitted?

1. 14 days

2. 25% of time remaining on commercial product

3. 30 days

4. 6 months

The correct answer is: 14 days

Compounded medications that do not fit the two main categories are limited to a maximum duration of therapy of 14 days in Wisconsin. This means that pharmacists compounding medications outside of the usual categories should ensure that the therapy does not exceed a 14-day supply to comply with state regulations. Option B, which suggests calculating 25% of the time remaining on a commercial product, is not the correct choice in this scenario. The state of Wisconsin specifically limits the duration of therapy for compounded medications in this context to 14 days, as stated above. Option C, allowing a maximum duration of therapy of 30 days, is also not the correct choice. Wisconsin regulations specify a shorter duration of therapy for compounded medications that do not fit into the main categories. Option D, offering a maximum duration of therapy of 6 months, is not the correct answer either. Wisconsin regulations do not permit such an extended duration of therapy for compounded medications that do not fall into the two main categories.
