So, this Compounding Pharmacy issue goes all the way back to Tom DeLay.

http://medicynic.com/2012/10/21/compounding-pharmacies-another-deinadequate-regulation-nightmare/

A 2003 provision to set up an FDA advisory committee to oversee compounders was killed by then-House Majority Leader Tom Delay, (medicynical emphasis) who said it would createunnecessary federal interference. Delay represented Sugar Land, Texas, the headquarters of the compounding academy.

Why am I not surprised.

If you want to use a compounding pharmacy, I suggest looking for an accredited one. Some of them do mail order, even across state lines.
