FDA Allowed to Continue to collect Drug Compounding Fees

FDA will be able to collect new drug compounding user fees authorized by the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA) under the continuing resolution that cleared Congress and was signed by President Barack Obama last week.

Question of the Day September 27, 2014 Is anyone else scared by the amount of questions and comments on the Internet regarding compounding that state something like I would like to expand my pharmacy to include compounding but I don't have a clue what to do or I have a doctor who wants me to compound wound care creme but I have never done that can anybody tell me how to do it? I don't know about the readers, but personally I wouldn't want a compounded medication from someone who is asking on the Internet how to make it or having to call another pharmacist to "consult" on the basics of compounding. This to me just points out a huge flaw in the system and process and the grave dangers of a number of compounded medications.
