Re: [RC] update on polo horse deaths - Carla Richardson

Truman, you're assuming they were trying to compound Biodyl.? Maybe they weren't.

The other part of the law is a compound pharmacies cannot compound a drug that is not approved in the US. This particular drug was not approved by the FDA. Hence they are screwed either way.

If it was just a? list of ingredients that the vet gave the pharmacy, would that make a difference legally?? (I don't know why I even care)

Anyway, it was the?wrong dosage of one of the ingredients?that caused the problem.? If the dosage hadn't been messed up, we wouldn't be talking about this today, I'm presuming.

It will be interesting to find out what happens.? I feel very badly for the poor?person who made the error, in the formulation, I sure would not want to be in that position right now.? Or in?the team vet's position, either.? Unintended consequences.

A compound pharmacy cannot legally compound a product that has an active patent. It turns out that this pharmacy is in Ocala and there was an article in the local paper this afternoon that not only is the FDA investigating the drug but federal law enforcement is investigating if they were guilty of patent infringement. It might not be in business much longer.
