Second Question of the Day May 28, 2014 Where are the examples of people who have not been able to get legal compounded medications that they need? The compounding world is exploding with new pharmacies and sales representatives with promises of up to $500,000 a year for these sales representatives. Very few states have taken any action against bad compounders; the FDA has inspected and pointed out flaws in compounding pharmacies; yet the US Congress points a finger a the FDA for failing to meet with stakeholders. I have pointed this out before on this blog. You can't have it both ways--on one hand you blame the FDA for the NECC outbreak; on the other hand you don't give them the authority they need to do anything about it. Now Congress has given them authority, but it is critical of the FDA's implementing the very law Congress passed. What is the solution? Is Congress the ultimate one at fault in this situation?
