Another Very Informative Comment from a Reader to a Question of the Day. This should make compounding pharmacists stop and think.

A consequence of super-size-me compounding mentality: publicly traded suppliers to the industry will bypass pharmacy all together and go straight to medical clinics with tested soundbites of the day to create large markets. Say good-bye to pharmaceutical care and rational, informed compounding, assuming such rationality existed to begin with. With evermore disclaimers on the chemical-recipe-formula-marketing supplier side, will we see pharmacists rise up and advocate for their patients best interest, collectively insisting that suppliers warrant what they sell, like the results of certificates of analyses for the chemicals they use? Or will they continue to take business risks in environments where they may be pawns in substandard chemical laundering schemes?
