FDA Warns Five Firms To Stop Compounding Topical Anesthetic Creams
Posted By American Med Spa Association, Thursday, October 16, 2014
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning five firms, Triangle
Compounding Pharmacy, University Pharmacy, Custom Scripts Pharmacy,
Hal’s Compounding Pharmacy, and New England Compounding Center, to stop
compounding and distributing standardized versions of topical anesthetic
creams, which are marketed for general distribution rather than
responding to the unique medical needs of individual patients. Firms
that do not resolve violations in FDA warning letters risk enforcement
such as injunctions against continuing violations and seizure of illegal
products. Read more here:
