Thousands drug manufacturers violate laws


Thousands drug manufacturers violate laws. But just some of them are punished appropriately. A lot of compounding pharmacies avoid serious penalties without significant efforts. But only when serious scandals result from illegal actions of pharmaceutical companies, they are sentenced to appropriate penalties. For example, everyone is aware of the meningitis outbreak which has spread across the country because of contaminated steroids manufactured by a Massachusetts pharmaceutical company. Undoubtedly, owners and officers of the drug manufacturer will be punished appropriately. But when illegal operations of drug manufacturers don’t cause such serious problems, they continue with their business successfully.
The media reports about illicit actions related to anabolic steroids, painkillers and other prescription medicines day by day. But you may notice that compounding pharmacies get just light sentencing for illegal distribution of anabolic-androgenic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. So, athletes and bodybuilders have free access to doping products. They obtain anabolic steroids and other related preparations from compounding centers and use them for athletic needs. Furthermore, certain pharmacies provide fake prescriptions for anabolic steroids. Corrupt doctors supply customers of pharmaceutical companies with prescriptions which are given without needed examination of customers’ personal conditions.
Drug manufacturers are responsible not only for illicit sale of anabolic-androgenic steroids. Some companies manufacture drugs in unsterile conditions. As a result, thousands persons get contaminated medicines and experience grave complications, applying  these medicines. Several persons even die from contamination caused by intake of contaminated drugs. As you are probably 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 proper authorities. Criminal sanctions should take place. Otherwise, health of thousands individuals is in a serious danger. Prescription medicines must be sold just under real prescriptions. All products must be produced 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. Loss of licenses should be accompanied by other serious penalties.
