PCCA (a "good" manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients used in compounded drugs) is based in Houston. So is Eagle Analytical Services, a "good" testing company that ensures both raw materials and finished compounded drugs are both potent (but not 8x potent causing death as in the IV Colchicine toxicity and death of humans and Selenium toxicity (and death) of polo ponies) and sterility (no fungal or bacterial contaminants as in the NECC case).
By using the word "good", I mean that these companies do good work, but are also ethically good. It is a compliment well-deserved.
Unfortunately, compounding is "big-business" in Texas. Political contributions, I haven't tracked them, but I'm sure there are plenty (as there is with all things political). It is far more appealing to blame people who not only are not your constituents, but also not donors to your campaign (or your opponent's campaign), then to tackle in-state compounding who have political friends.
Even more unfortunate is that ApotheCure/NuVision, and now Specialty Compounding, are two of the most egregious cases in the "manufacturer in compounding pharmacy clothing" crises. (I count ApotheCure and NuVision as only one (1) company because they have the same address, the same employees, and the same customer accounts.)
Now I live in Florida, and we have our share of "rogue compounding pharmacies" (Signature Pharmacy, GBTRx Pharmacy, etc). But expecting each state to take care of their own businesses when those pharmacies ship accross state lines, it is just plain silly. And the idea that any state could police non-resident pharmacies located in other states, that is even sillier. I doubt that Chuck Norris or any other Texas Ranger will go to Massachusetts to stop NECC From shipping tainted drugs into their state.
