Compounding pharmacies and violation of laws

Numerous compounding pharmacies violate laws. But only some of them are sanctioned harshly. Thousands pharmaceutical companies avoid harsh sanctions successfully. But only when serious scandals result from illicit actions of compounding pharmacies, they are sentenced to appropriate penalties. For example, anyone is aware of the meningitis outbreak that has spread across the country because of tainted steroid injections manufactured by a Massachusetts pharmaceutical company. Of course, owners and officials of the company will be sanctioned properly. But when illicit actions of compounding pharmacies don’t lead to such serious problems, they go on with their business successfully.
Journalists report about illicit actions linked with steroids, painkillers and other prescription medicines daily. But you may see that compounding pharmacies get only light sentencing for illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other doping products. So, athletes and bodybuilders have free access to performance-enhancing drugs. They get anabolic steroids and other related drugs from pharmaceutical companies and apply them for athletic goals. Moreover, several compounding pharmacies provide fake prescriptions for anabolic steroids. Corrupt physicians supply customers of compounding pharmacies with prescriptions that are given without needed examination of customers’ individual conditions.
Compounding pharmacies are responsible not only for illicit sale of steroids. Some companies manufacture preparations in unsterile conditions. As a result, a lot of individuals get tainted medications and suffer from severe complications, applying  these products. Some individuals even die from contamination resulted from application of tainted medicines. As you are possibly informed, 39 persons died because of fungal meningitis caused by tainted methylprednisolone acetate injections.
The recent contamination with fungal meningitis should have an impact on decisions of appropriate authorities. Criminal sanctions should take place. Otherwise, health of many individuals is in a great danger. Prescription medicines must be sold only under real prescriptions. All products must be produced in sterile conditions. If compounding pharmacies don’t obey all laws, they must be punished. They must not be permitted to continue with business, if they violate laws. Forfeiture of licenses should be accompanied by other serious sanctions.
