On behalf of the Maryland Board of
Pharmacy, we are writing to commend Sun reporter Andrea Walker for a fair and honest reflection of
information discussed during her interview
with board
executive director LaVerne Naesea and board commissioner David Chason about the
board's monitoring of sterile compounding pharmacies and addressing potential
gaps in oversight. The article's on-line headline, "Maryland pharmacy of board
says it can adequately monitor compounding pharmacies — Board beefed up
standards in recent years" (Nov. 18), accurately indicated the thrust of the
interview.

However, as sometimes happens when a story
isn't quite spicy enough, an editor may decide to change the headline to
increase sales or perhaps raise controversy. The board suspects something like
this may have occurred when the referenced article was published on the front
page of The Sun's print edition on Monday, Nov. 19, under the headline,
"Maryland board resists U.S. role in regulation of pharmacies."
