Criminal sanctions for illegal activities of compounding pharmacies

A lot of drug manufacturers violate laws. But just some of them are sanctioned appropriately. A lot of drug manufacturers avoid serious sanctions successfully. But only when serious scandals result from illicit actions of pharmaceutical companies, they are sentenced to proper penalties. For example, everyone is aware of the meningitis outbreak that has spread across the country because of tainted steroid injections produced by a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy. Undoubtedly, owners and officials of the drug manufacturer will be sanctioned appropriately. But when illicit actions of compounding pharmacies don’t lead to such serious problems, they continue with their business successfully.
The media reports about illicit operations connected with steroids, painkillers and other prescription preparations daily. But you may see that pharmaceutical companies get only light sentencing for illicit sale of steroids and other doping products. So, athletes and bodybuilders have free access to doping products. They purchase steroids and other related products from compounding centers and take them for athletic needs. Furthermore, several drug manufacturers provide fake prescriptions for anabolic steroids. Corrupt physicians supply customers of pharmacies with prescriptions that are given without required examination of customers’ personal conditions.
Compounding pharmacies are responsible not only for illegal sale of anabolic-androgenic steroids. Some pharmaceutical companies produce medications in unsterile conditions. As a result, many individuals get tainted medications and experience severe complications, applying  these products. Several persons even die from contamination resulted from intake of contaminated drugs. As you are possibly informed, 39 persons died because of fungal meningitis caused by tainted methylprednisolone acetate injections.
The late contamination with fungal meningitis should have an impact on decisions of appropriate authorities. Criminal penalties should take place. Otherwise, health of many individuals is in a great danger. Prescription medications must be sold just under real prescriptions. All preparations must be manufactured in sterile conditions. If pharmaceutical companies don’t obey all laws, they must be sanctioned. They must not be permitted to continue with business, if they violate laws. Forfeiture of licenses should be accompanied by other serious sanctions.
