Question of the Day January 2, 2014 Why do most state boards of pharmacy insist that a complaint be filed against a compounding pharmacy or pharmacists before they will investigate and enforce their own rules? Why are more state boards of pharmacy not willing to enforce their own rules against compounding pharmacies and pharmacists when they learn about violations from the FDA, the news media, etc.? Shouldn't this be changed as suggested by the comment below?

The "complaints driven" component of how enforcement actions work is why it is so easy for pharmacies and physicians can get away with these illegal kickback relationships.
