They aren't even supposed to regulate...Right. <br /><br />They aren't even supposed to regulate compounding at all and it pisses pharmacists off. The law was actually changed at one point to remove FDA jurisdiction, but part of the law was found unconstitutional and there was no severability provision for the change to compounding. <br /><br />Without very pro-Makena actions by the FDA, KV is going to be sunk. The FDA knows that. So the natural bureaucratic way to avoid responsibility is to put out a vague, mealy mouthed press release. Which is what they did. <br /><br />Did you see my post before with the NYT article, which mentions that the White House specifically intervened to screw KV and keep the price of the drug cheap? Is that going to change?CPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701174164478027499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527840491496268397.post-4765616318127754992012-06-17T22:20:54.617-07:002012-06-17T22:20:54.617-07:00My bad.

I tripped up thinking they were saying compounding hydroxy...caproate would exceed the scope of pharmacy compounding hence was being dis-allowed. I think they are saying that, but moreso, it's not dangerous enough that they are going to make it at all an enforcement priority.Allan Folzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762674627739423845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527840491496268397.post-13014935542922780662012-06-15T22:56:26.696-07:002012-06-15T22:56:26.696-07:00Where are you getting that?
