The observation that closes a facility is rarely the dramatic one.
The 31-day notice: how a compounding wind-down works in Argentina
The document is four pages. Three of them are about dates.
What changed at SSA in February, and what the company will not say about it
Documentation practice is the only part of vendor quality a buyer can assess before purchase.
The precision question nobody puts to a body-composition report
A body-composition report gives four decimal places and no confidence interval. That is the whole difficulty in one sentence.
What the protein literature actually shows, and in whom it was shown
The denominator matters more than the ratio: per kilogram of body weight, of ideal weight, or of lean mass gives three different targets.
Reproducibility, measured rather than assumed
Duplicate submissions under different names test within-laboratory repeatability, which is a different quantity from between-laboratory reproducibility.
What an 11% rise in coupling-reagent prices does to a 2 mg vial
Follow the resin, not the catalogue.
Why summer is a documented quality problem in this trade

The supplier has not disputed the finding. It has not explained the gap either.
The steps get smaller as the ladder gets higher, and that is deliberate
What the published pharmacokinetics permit, what the labels state, and where the two diverge.
What happens in solution that does not happen in the cake
Every degradation pathway accelerates by orders of magnitude on reconstitution, because the solvent that lyophilisation removed is the reagent most of them need.
SGN declines, for the 23rd time, to name its synthesis house
Documentation practice is the only part of vendor quality a buyer can assess before purchase.
A shortage listing ends. 13 pharmacies now have a business model and no legal basis for it.
The document is four pages. Three of them are about dates.
Halvard & Pike Apothecary of Portland, Maine enters a consent decree and stops sterile preparation
The observation that closes a facility is rarely the dramatic one.
Holograms, QR codes and other things that are not verification
Reported from the analysis, not from a warning notice.
Six words a verification badge would need to mean anything
What a verification mark would have to carry to be checkable: a date, a lot, a method, a submitter and a link to the report.
The dose you were told to reach and the dose you will actually stay on
The published ladder exists because a protocol needed a single number. Practice has never followed it exactly, and the regulatory file never assumed it would.
What the new Norway guidance says about stopping
The evidence base is thin and the document says so, which is to its credit.
STEP 5 misses on a secondary endpoint the coverage has not mentioned
A design note rather than a result: what the comparator was, and what that permits you to conclude.

Efficacy was never the question in this appraisal. Duration of treatment was.

Reported from the sessions, and from the two hours afterwards.
The glucagon receptor arm, and why it is the hardest to reason about
What adding GIP activity does, on the current evidence, and what remains unresolved.
Why a dead-clean sterile filter can pass pyrogen straight through
The limit for a parenteral product is calculable from the dose and the body weight in two lines. Almost nobody in this trade performs the calculation.
Attribution is the hard part
Pancreatitis is rare, was adjudicated in the outcome programmes, and did not show the imbalance early case reports suggested.
JEEP declines, for the 23rd time, to name its synthesis house
Documentation practice is the only part of vendor quality a buyer can assess before purchase.

A design note rather than a result: what the comparator was, and what that permits you to conclude.

The gap between a defensible recommendation and a confident one is where most of the harm in this subject lives.
