Eleventh Question of the Day August 1, 2014 How many animal compounding pharmacies compound medications for convenience (i.e., it is easier to give a cow one shot of a drug than three shots as required by a commerically available etc.) Does this violate the law? Should there be an exception for this? If there is an exception made won't compounders always try to argue it was to make giving the medciation easier? How is this fair to the manufacturer who has followed the rules, invested the money done the studies and trials, gotten FDA approval for the three shot method and how do we know the one shot is just as effective as the three shot method since compounders haven't invested the money, haven't done the studies, haven't sought FDA approval etc.?
