Texas Board of Pharmacy Disciplinary Action for September 2013 -February 2014
The People’s Pharmacy order by the Board is an important one that will be difficult to meet at a level of rigor that will protect patients—the order requires that policies be developed to detect (implicating surveillance methods) and prevent errors in the dispensing of compounded preparations (pharmacies little or no control over condition of chemicals on receipt—ie moisture content, microbial bioburden). But even more challenging, the order requires policies be developed to ensure the accuracy of formulas used. The Board is zeroing in on a primary concern regarding the foundation of the industry—thousands of untested recipes/formulas that may be unsafe, ineffective, or missing important warnings/precautions for safe use.
