Drug Topics Interviews IACP on NECC Tragedy and the Future of Compounding
IACP's Executive Vice President John Voliva, RPh, is extensively quoted in a
Drug Topics article this week,
NECC and the Future of Compounding Pharmacy.
"The FDA and Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy," according to Voliva and many other members of the media, "had clear authority to investigate and take action that would have stopped the operations at New England Compounding Center, and both had been informed of problems there. Neither did."
Read the entire
Drug Topics article and more of Voliva's comments
