Lack of sterility, microbial outbreaks, and negative patient outcomes–these are the documented problems that have occurred with compounding pharmacy products. Lacking FDA oversight, these pharmacies answer only to state authorities.
Sodium tetradecyl sulfate has a history with compounded pharmacies as well: “[Researchers] investigated content variability of compounded sodium tetradecyl sulfate solutions and found that compounding pharmacies were using a lower-quality ingredient as a starting material, which produced significant concentrations of a highly toxic contaminant called carbitol.” [2]
