Observation of the Day December 8, 2014 Isn't it interesting how the harder compounding pharmacies and pharmacists try to point out the "good" or "benefits" of compounding the more light that is shed on the big, business profit of it and the lack of testing, controls, that they are not operating only in their home states, but very much on a interstate, national level. It is not that compounds are not necessary and needed in the appropriate case. It is questions about mass producing and marketing to use in lieu of FDA-approved medications, the health and safety of these medications, and blantant violations of laws that remain the issues.
