Question of the Day: 4/20/13 Do you believe the FDA, in fact, had jurisdiction to conduct the inspections of the high risk compounding pharmacies that it just conducted?

What do you believe the current state of the law is with regard to the FDA's jurisdiction to inspect compounding pharmacies?  If the current law allows the FDA to go in with the state boards of pharmacy and inspect when they suspect a compounding pharmacy is manufacturing, then does the FDA in fact have authority to inspect a pharmacy merely because it is "high-risk."   What do you think the test should be?
