TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Department of Health has issued an emergency suspension order for a compounding pharmacy in Boca Raton.
The DOH said Friday that Rejuvi Pharmaceuticals, Inc. violated state statutes involving the cleanliness of the prescription department, the dispensing of medications, the compounding of medications, and record keeping.
Officials say Rejuvi had previously been notified of these violations and failed to correct them.
Compounding pharmacies often make medicinal drugs prescribed by physicians for specific patients that cannot be filled by commercially available drugs.
Compounding pharmacies have been in the spotlight since a Massachusetts facility distributed lots of tainted steroid that led to a meningitis outbreak. Hundreds of people nationwide were sickened by the contaminated medicine.
