What is NAPRA?
National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities: the Canadian body whose Model Standards for Pharmacy Compounding of Sterile and Non-sterile Preparations govern compounding practice across Canada, paralleling USP <795>/<797>/<800> in the United States.
Canadian provincial colleges of pharmacy adopt and enforce the NAPRA model standards, which cover sterile compounding, non-sterile compounding, and hazardous sterile compounding. The structure parallels the USP chapters but differs in specifics — including risk-level terminology, metric-first units, and pressure expressed in pascals.
Pharmacies operating in Canada need records organized around NAPRA's requirements and their province's adopted version, not a re-badged USP checklist.
