Pharmalot... Pharmalittle... Good Morning

Top of the morning to you. A shiny sun is warming up the Pharmalot corporate campus today where we are scrambling, as always, to get too much done in not a lot of time. Mascots to feed. Short people who need to be deposited in different locations. And an ever-growing to-do list of odds and ends and what-not. Just the same, we must stop for a cup of stimulation. How else to cope with all this? Feel free to join in. Meanwhile, here is another batch of tidbits. Have a swell day and do stay in touch...

Public Citizen is absolutely correct. The FDA most definitely should re-inspect all 16 compounders. By not doing show, it shows that the agency sees its mission as working for industries, not the public health. Perhaps the President will disband the FDA in his second term and give the job of safety to Public Citizen!
