Pool IV drug from multiple manufacturers for one CSP?

Scenario: I have 1 vial of paclitaxel MYLAN brand (30 mg), and 1 vial of HOSPIRA brand (30 mg). Dose for my patient is 60 mg.

Does your institution allow combining product from different manufacturers for a patient specific dose?

Is there national regulation or standards on this?

Thank you very much!
