Third Question of the Day December 3, 2014 Isn't the question often overlooked or glossed over when compounding pharmacies complain that the DQSA is hampering their ability to supply needed drugs to patients the question of whether or not the compounded meds they wish to supply are legal or illegal? Isn't it one thing if a baby needs a liquid version of an FDA approved medication and altogether another thing if compounding pharmacists are inventing new drugs, avoiding the approval process and then mass producing those drugs in the name of personalized, compounded medications (i.e., numerous patients get the same pain cream formula because it makes the compounding pharmacist a lot of money; not because the FDA approved drugs don't work)? Yet the public/patient now believes the government is messing with their medications when they were not legally entitled to those medications to begin with under our current laws.
