Public Citizen believes it wiser to strengthen existing laws by clarifying the line between traditional pharmacy compounding and drug manufacturing and clarifying the federal standards governing traditional compounding. All drug manufactures must be held to the same rigorous safety and quality standards.https://www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/public_citizen_shared_link.jpg1200628
