Leuprolide USP 800

Leuprolide is a Table 1 NIOSH medication that comes in a prepared syringe with an attached needle from the manufacturer. It needs mixing of diluent and powder in the closed syringe. There is some debate at my facility as to whether this is manipulation that needs to be done in a BSC. Thoughts?
