Tenth Question of the Day July 9, 2014 Why aren't all these adverse reactions and problems with compounded preparations being reported or tracked? Check at just this one page of all the problems patients have had with compounded medications.

read past the article to the comments section here  There are some happy with it, but there are some with problems.  What about the one where the person picked it up from the compounding pharmacy and had no idea what to do?  What about the one who lives in New York but A Doctor in Texas prescribes the compound for her?  Since that was the most recent question posed by a reader?  What do readers think about doctors who never see the patient but prescribe compounded medications?

Adverse events are tracked as part of 797 and 795 guidelines. They must have a policy and procedure on file and correct any issues. The state board reviews the log during inspection.

But they are not tracked if the patient doesn't report it or know to report it? It is appears obvious that the public does not know to report these and you are reporting it to the person who caused the problem which can be very awkward and a lot of people won't do it; they will just stop using the product and move on unless it is life threatening problems. So may be part of the problem is there is not an independent place to report the problems to.

And what about states that did not adopt all of 795 and 797?
