A pharmacy formulation preparation system for preparing pharmaceutical individual formulations such as formulations for ointments, semisolid preparations, eye drops, lotions, pills, capsules or teas in quantities of up to 5 kg, comprising:
- reading means for reading in the individual prescription data of an individual prescription;
- weighing means for weighing the quantities of the raw materials required for a read-in individual prescription;
- mixing means, wherein the mixing means is adapted as a mixing and stirring unit comprising fastening means for a container having an inner volume of 10 ml to 5000 ml, a lifting unit, a stirring stick and an electric motor for driving the stirring stick in a rotating manner, the stirring stick having a stirring instrument attached or attachable thereto;
- display means;
- a pharmacy-associated stock database area comprising raw material identification parameters of the pharmaceutical raw materials available in the pharmacy as well as for at least one raw material identification parameter, an associated raw material quantity parameter and comprising processing device identification parameters of the processing devices available in the pharmacy;
- a preparation database comprising composition information, which allocates the respectively contained raw materials and the respective proportions thereof to a plurality of individual formulations, as well as preparation information, which comprises, for each contained individual formulation, preparation information such as processing devices, time period and procedure parameters of the raw materials to be mixed;
- and
- a data processing unit, which is adapted:
- to have access to data in the pharmacy-associated stock database area;
- to have access to data in the preparation database;
- and
- such that, by accessing the preparation database, the raw materials required for preparing the individual prescription and the respective quantities thereof as well as the time period, the processing devices and the procedure parameters of the mixing procedure can be determined for the read-in individual prescription data of the individual prescription;
- determining whether the individual prescription can be prepared, by accessing the pharmacy-associated stock database area, by comparing the raw materials required for the preparation and the respective quantities thereof to the available raw materials;
- and
- that, if the individual prescription can be prepared, processing instructions for preparing the individual formulation, containing the information about the required raw materials, the respective quantities thereof, the required processing devices as well as the time period and the procedure parameters of the mixing procedure, can be output to a user.
