Thousands compounding pharmacies involved in illegal actions are not punished

Thousands drug manufacturers violate laws. But just some of them are punished harshly. Many compounding pharmacies avoid harsh penalties without significant efforts. But just when serious scandals are caused by illicit actions of compounding pharmacies, they are sentenced to proper punishments. For example, everyone is aware of the meningitis outbreak which has spread across the country because of tainted steroids manufactured by a Massachusetts pharmaceutical company. Undoubtedly, owners and officers of the drug manufacturer will be punished harshly. But when illicit activities of drug manufacturers don’t result in such serious problems, they go on with their business successfully.
The media reports about illegal operations related to steroids, painkillers and other prescription drugs daily. But you may notice that pharmaceutical companies get only light sentencing for illegal sale of anabolic-androgenic steroids and other doping products. So, athletes and bodybuilders have free access to doping products. They obtain anabolic steroids and other related products from pharmaceutical companies and apply them for athletic goals. Furthermore, several drug manufacturers provide fake prescriptions for anabolic steroids. Corrupt doctors supply customers of pharmacies with prescriptions that are given without required examination of customers’ individual conditions.
Compounding pharmacies are responsible not only for illegal sale of anabolic steroids. Certain companies produce medications in unsterile conditions. As a result, many individuals get contaminated medications and suffer from serious complications, applying  these medicines. Some individuals even die from contamination resulted from intake of tainted medications. As you are possibly informed, 39 individuals died because of fungal meningitis caused by contaminated methylprednisolone acetate injections.
The late contamination with fungal meningitis should influence on decisions of proper authorities. Criminal penalties should take place. Otherwise, health of thousands persons is in a serious danger. Prescription medications must be sold just under real prescriptions. All preparations must be produced in sterile conditions. If drug manufacturers don’t obey all laws, they must be punished. They must not be permitted to continue with business, if they violate laws. Forfeiture of licenses should be accompanied by other serious penalties.
