Methods: The study was conducted in Indonesia. Twenty pharmacists, age 40 and above, working in Yogyakarta and Central Java provinces, participated in two focus group discussions (fgd) on extemporaneous drug compounding.

Evaluation of extemporaneous compounding products was the most prominent theme that was discussed in all of the focus groups. Other themes identified were the scope of compounding practice; materials, equipments and facilities; specialist compounding pharmacy; and prices. The results of this study may offer an excellent guided to designing effective interventions, which would provide regulatory recommendations for compounding pharmacy.Conclusion: This study provided insight into the way that the pharmacists look at the extemporaneous compounding.
