Numerous pharmaceutical companies involved in illegal operations don’t get serious penalties

Thousands pharmaceutical companies violate laws. But only some of them are sanctioned harshly. A lot of drug manufacturers avoid serious penalties successfully. But only when serious scandals are caused by illicit operations of pharmaceutical companies, they are sentenced to appropriate sanctions. For example, everyone knows about the meningitis outbreak which has spread across the country because of contaminated steroid injections produced by a Massachusetts pharmaceutical company. Undoubtedly, owners and officials of the drug manufacturer will be sanctioned harshly. But when illicit operations of drug manufacturers don’t result in such serious troubles, they go on with their business successfully.
The media reports about illegal operations related to anabolic steroids, painkillers and other prescription medicines day by day. But you may notice that pharmaceutical companies get only light sentencing for illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other doping products. So, sportspersons and bodybuilders have free access to performance-enhancing drugs. They get anabolic steroids and other related drugs from compounding pharmacies and administer them for athletic purposes. Furthermore, certain pharmacies provide fake prescriptions for anabolic-androgenic steroids. Corrupt doctors supply customers of compounding pharmacies with prescriptions that are given without needed examination of customers’ individual conditions.
Compounding pharmacies are responsible not only for illicit distribution of anabolic steroids. Several companies manufacture drugs in unsterile conditions. As a result, numerous individuals get contaminated drugs and suffer from grave complications, applying  these drugs. Certain individuals even die from contamination resulted from administration of contaminated drugs. As you are possibly informed, 39 individuals died because of fungal meningitis caused by contaminated methylprednisolone acetate injections.
The recent contamination with fungal meningitis should influence on decisions of appropriate authorities. Criminal penalties should take place. Otherwise, health of thousands individuals is in a serious danger. Prescription drugs must be sold only under real prescriptions. All medications must be produced in sterile conditions. If pharmaceutical companies don’t obey all laws, they must be punished. They must not be permitted to continue with business, if they violate laws. Loss of licenses should be accompanied by other serious penalties.
