Pharmacy Trade Group Shifts Position on Federal Oversight
February 25, 2013
The head of the nation’s largest trade group for the specialty pharmacies known as “compounders” said he will support legislation requiring pharmacies that operate like drug manufacturers to register with the FDA and be subject to stricter standards enforced by the agency. The new position by the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists follows a Washington Post investigation that showed 15 of the nation’s largest compounding pharmacies, which make custom-ordered medications, operate like drug manufacturers but do not have to register with the federal government or follow the same safety laws.
