Third Question of the Day October 3, 2014 In recently seeing a comment posted by a compounder that said if the FDA insist that drugs made by the FDA-approved companies are safer why are we seeing so many FDA-approved recalls? Does this just destroy part of the compounder's arguments? The FDA has more authority and say over FDA approved products and thus has the ability to immediately notify consumers and get them pulled from the market. Compounders fight even an inch of over oversight so the question I would really like answered is if compounded medications are so much safer and better why are compounding pharmacists so afraid of oversight and having their compounds tested?
