Drug manufacturers that violated laws should forfeit licenses

Numerous drug manufacturers violate laws. But only some of them are punished appropriately. Numerous compounding pharmacies avoid serious sanctions without significant efforts. But only when serious scandals result from illicit operations of pharmaceutical companies, they are sentenced to proper sanctions. For example, anyone knows about the meningitis outbreak that has spread across the country because of contaminated steroids produced by a Massachusetts pharmaceutical company. Of course, owners and officials of the company will be punished harshly. But when illegal operations of drug manufacturers don’t result in such serious troubles, they continue with their business successfully.
Journalists report about illegal operations linked with steroids, painkillers and other prescription preparations day by day. But you may see that pharmaceutical companies get just insignificant sentencing for illicit sale of anabolic-androgenic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Thus, athletes and bodybuilders have free access to doping products. They get anabolic-androgenic steroids and other related drugs from compounding centers and administer them for athletic goals. Moreover, certain pharmacies provide fake prescriptions for anabolic-androgenic steroids. Corrupt physicians supply customers of pharmaceutical companies with prescriptions which are given without needed evaluation of customers’ personal conditions.
Drug manufacturers are responsible not only for illegal distribution of anabolic-androgenic steroids. Certain companies manufacture preparations in unsterile conditions. As a result, many individuals get contaminated medications and experience severe complications, taking  these preparations. Some persons even die from contamination caused by usage of contaminated medications. 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 have an impact on decisions of appropriate authorities. Criminal penalties should take place. Otherwise, health of many persons is in a great danger. Prescription drugs must be sold only under real prescriptions. All medicines must be produced in sterile conditions. If drug manufacturers 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 harsh penalties.
