The pharmacist is the only individual authorised to prepare medicines as a result of the training they have received. The pharmacy profession is one of the few that will not accept mistakes in terms of human life and health. Even the smallest mistake can lead to irreversible consequences such as non-recovery, disability and death. In the event of such a situation, every sensitive pharmacist will undoubtedly face a great deal of conscientious responsibility. In order to avoid such a situation, it is necessary to be aware of the developments in the profession and to exercise caution when providing services. It is also important to avoid leaving work to others and to strive to avoid making any mistakes. Personalised medicines prepared by a pharmacist in a pharmacy laboratory according to a doctor's prescription, packaged and labelled, and presented to the patient are known as magistral products. These are formulations that are prescribed and prepared individually, with the doses of the active substance determined by the physician in terms of volume or weight according to the degree of the disease present in the patient. In the context of personalised therapies globally, the importance of compounding products is increasing daily, and the rules and regulations governing the preparation of compounding products vary from country to country. This review study examines the laws, regulations, and rules applicable in Türkiye and Spain for the preparation of compounding products. It also considers the future of compounding pharmacy.
