Administration has flagged a
proposed ban on compounding of
medications which are “essentially

saying they pose a higher risk
to patients because they have
not been evaluated for safety,

proposals now open for a 90 day
public comment period.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 08 Jul 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 08 Jul 16
