When you do a Pharmacy License Check on Nuvison on the Texas State Board of Pharmacy (TSBP), this is the Results--It indicates that the TSBP has not Disciplined Nuvision. So is the TSBP failing to do its job or is the FDA wrong in the 483s it has issued?

The Services Provided section of NuVision's Texas Pharmacy License says that the pharmacy does NOT do low, medium, or high risk sterile compounding, just non-sterile compounding. This information is obviously incorrect, or falsified. NuVision does sterile compounding openly, and on a large scale. It is ironic that NuVision continues to refuse FDA requests to recall all of its sterile products, when according to its Texas Pharmacy license, NuVision doesn't even compound any sterile products. Why does the TSBP allow NuVision to continue to flagrantly violate the published provisions of its state pharmacy license?

NuVision does admit they do high-risk compounding. You didn't read their "self-reported questionnaire" correctly. NuVision also does mail-delivery of meds (which they didn't admit to). Frankly, self reporting isn't reliable enough to know if a pharmacy is manfacturing drugs or otherwise operating safely or not. States should have been doing inspections, but because they didn't do them (properly), the Federal Government is going to have to step in and do so.
