The Pharmacy Sage: Sacred Cows

 The Pharmacy Sage said...

Hello and thank you for this post.

In the pharmacy industry, outright denial is commonplace. I hear a lot of anger online about what has been going on, and not a lot of solutions. Your blog continues to be a guiding light for many.

A problem I see again and again is the problem of "Sacred Cows". I explain what this means in my latest blog post. I hope you'll read it and respond with your thoughts.

Second Question of the Day September 27, 2014 There has yet to be any real and meaningful acknowledgment from pharmacists and the major groups that represent them that the compounding pharmacy world is in crisis, has serious dangers and concerns, and that the industry needs to change even if it means less money in their pockets. Instead the focus continues to be on fighting or pushing back, denying the problems are more than a few isolated incidents despite evidence to the contrary. Isn't the first thing the compounding pharmacists and industry needs to do to improve their image and restore faith in them is to acknowledge the problems and take responsiblity for them?

FDA Allowed to Continue to collect Drug Compounding Fees

Continuing Resolution Allows FDA 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.

Dr. Kiss, the finding "casts doubt on the trustworthiness of the bevacizumab currently being compounded for intraocular use by mostly unregulated pharmacies nationwide."
