State's pharmacy board jumping ahead of proposed bill

State inspectors visit every pharmacy in New Hampshire, unannounced, every year, he said. But for now, the state has to rely on other states to watch over companies there.

In the NECC case, Stout said, "If Massachusetts had only done some routine inspections, they probably would have noticed this a long time ago."

New Hampshire's actions coincide with a push by the federal Food and Drug Administration, Stout said, to more clearly distinguish between a compounding pharmacy and a drug manufacturer.
