using negative pressure hood to mix most all sterile cmpds

Hello,
Does anyone have a policy on using your negative pressure sterile hood to mix all medication in the pharmacy?

We do not have a clean room. We have a negative pressure hood vented to the outside. We mix MTX in a syringe for IM injection once a week only. We do the steps after each syringe to Deactivate, Decontaminate, Clean and Disinfect. Do we need to have a separate sterile hood to mix all other IVs since we use this hood for MTX?

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
Jan
