Illegal actions of compounding pharmacies

Numerous compounding pharmacies violate laws. But just some of them are sanctioned properly. Thousands pharmaceutical companies avoid serious penalties without significant efforts. But just when serious scandals result from illegal actions of pharmaceutical companies, they are sentenced to appropriate penalties. For example, anyone knows about the meningitis outbreak which has spread across the country because of contaminated steroid injections manufactured by a Massachusetts compounding center. Of course, owners and officers of the drug manufacturer will be punished harshly. But when illegal activities of compounding pharmacies don’t cause such serious problems, they continue with their business successfully.
Journalists report about illicit operations linked with anabolic steroids, painkillers and other prescription drugs daily. But you may see that compounding pharmacies get only insignificant sentencing for illicit distribution of steroids and other doping products. Thus, athletes and bodybuilders have free access to performance-enhancing drugs. They purchase anabolic-androgenic steroids and other related medications from pharmaceutical companies and use them for athletic needs. Furthermore, several compounding pharmacies provide fake prescriptions for steroids. Corrupt physicians supply customers of pharmacies with prescriptions which are given without proper examination of customers’ personal conditions.
Drug manufacturers are responsible not only for illicit distribution of anabolic steroids. Several companies produce preparations in unsterile conditions. As a result, a lot of persons get contaminated medications and experience serious complications, using  these medications. Several persons even die from contamination caused by application of contaminated preparations. As you are possibly informed, 39 individuals died because of fungal meningitis caused by contaminated methylprednisolone acetate injections.
The recent contamination with fungal meningitis should have an impact on decisions of appropriate authorities. Criminal sanctions should take place. Otherwise, health of many persons is in a serious danger. Prescription drugs must be sold only under real prescriptions. All drugs must be manufactured in sterile conditions. If drug manufacturers don’t obey all laws, they must be sanctioned. They must not be allowed to continue with business, if they violate laws. Forfeiture of licenses should be accompanied by other serious penalties.
