USP 800 and medication dispensing (degarelix, Eligard)

Hello!

Curious how others are dispensing medications that are NIOSH group 1, but listed within NIOSH table 2 - where known carcinogenicity - but teratogenicity / reproductive hazard. (specifically, curious on degarelix - which requires reconstitution, comes as a kit with required supplies; Eligard - packaged as two syringes)

Do nurses prepare these doses? (inpatient? clinics?)
PPE requirements?

Thanks in advance!
Emily
