It is necessary to punish thousands drug manufacturers

A lot of drug manufacturers violate laws. But just some of them are sanctioned harshly. Numerous compounding pharmacies avoid harsh sanctions without significant efforts. But only when serious scandals result from illegal operations of compounding pharmacies, they are sentenced to appropriate punishments. For example, anyone knows about the meningitis outbreak which has spread across the country because of contaminated steroids produced by a Massachusetts pharmaceutical company. Undoubtedly, owners and officers of the company will be sanctioned appropriately. But when illegal activities of drug manufacturers don’t lead to such serious problems, they continue with their business successfully.
The media reports about illegal operations related to steroids, painkillers and other prescription medicines day by day. But you may see that pharmaceutical companies get only insignificant sentencing for illicit sale of anabolic-androgenic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. So, athletes and bodybuilders have free access to performance-enhancing drugs. They purchase anabolic steroids and other related medications from compounding centers and administer them for athletic purposes. Furthermore, certain drug manufacturers provide fake prescriptions for steroids. Corrupt physicians supply customers of pharmaceutical companies with prescriptions which are given without required examination of customers’ individual conditions.
Compounding pharmacies are responsible not only for illegal distribution of steroids. Several companies manufacture drugs in unsterile conditions. As a result, numerous persons get tainted medicines and experience serious complications, taking  these preparations. Several individuals even die from contamination caused by intake of contaminated medicines. 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 many persons is in a serious danger. Prescription medications must be sold only under real prescriptions. All medications must be manufactured in sterile conditions. If compounding pharmacies don’t obey all laws, they must be sanctioned. They must not be allowed to continue with business, if they violate laws. Loss of licenses should be accompanied by other serious sanctions.
