Eighth Question of the Day July 8, 2014 Anybody still want to argue that NECC was an isolated incident? How many times in the past have compounding pharmacies "covered up" contamination on both the human and veterinary side?

In 2004, roughly 1.4 million doses of compounded

respiratory solution contaminated with

Burkholderia cepacia were distributed to patients

nationally. The  Missouri State Board of Pharmacy

found the pharmacy did not adequately recall potentially

affected product and failed to advise

patients and prescribers of the contamination risk.

The Board issued a temporary restraining order,

noting in their petition that the pharmacy ‘‘engaged

in practices that pose a threat of immediate and

irreparable injury, loss or damage to patients

and presents a probability of serious danger to the

health, safety or welfare of the residents of the

state.’’[25]
