| Summary | Thousands of neighborhood pharmacies across the country make hundreds of compounded products. There is little oversight by either federal or state regulators to ensure that drugs made by compounders are safe or effective. And patients often have no idea that the drugs they have been prescribed are compounded. The case of Doc's Pharmacy illustrates how doctors, as well as their patients, are unaware of the risks inherent in pharmacy compounding. |
