Research Paper Update

My topic is on the involvement of the FDA in regulating the development of pharmaceutical drugs in particular compounding pharmacies in light of the recent meningitis outbreak

Sources:
  
"Guidance for FDA Staff and Industry" This website is produced by the FDA as a guide for compounding pharmacies. The fairly lenient regulations of CPs are in stark contrast with stringent pharmaceutical company regulations. Knowing the details and extent of regulations for each type of  company is important.

Burton, Thomas M. "Pharmecies Fought Controls"   This article details how compounding pharmacies effectively limited FDA regulations, which raises the question if the regulations had been higher would the meningitis outbreak have killed so many people.

I have more but I did not have enough time to type them.
