An administrative law judge this month will determine whether a South Lyon business illegally mass-produced compounded drugs for hospitals and clinics.
State Attorney General Bill Schuette last month obtained the suspension of Specialty Medicine Compounding Pharmacy’s license after fungi were discovered in one of its injected products at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
A Nov. 26 hearing in Detroit will determine whether the license suspensions of the pharmacy and pharmacist-owner Kenny Walkup Jr. will be rescinded or stay in place. The state Pharmacy Disciplinary Subcommittee will make a final ruling based on the judge’s recommendation.

Walkup was only licensed to fill individual prescriptions for Michigan patients, Schuette maintains.
