Or like somebody who has no idea what safety regs are took one look at the line item for maintaining a safe working environment and thought to themselves "if I get rid of all these pesky regulations I'll save so much money" I somehow read that as "grad students being explodeable" and it still made sense.

Well, unfortunate news everyone, I've moved on from USP 800 compounding (for now) and transferred out of Milwaukee. But I do have one final story for you all. Nothing really exciting in terms of chemical properties but still involves nasty chemicals. A call came in from a different pharmacy in our network. They needed a pharmacy with three specific requirements: - Licensed in the patient's state - USP 800 compounding - Access to the two drugs in question The amount of pharmacies in the whole system that meets all three of those is two, maybe three (out of several thousand). The drugs in question? Trametinib (Mekinist) and dabrafenib (Tafinlar). Two brand name chemotherapy drugs, both are H1. The kid can't tolerate the commercially available versions of it, so we have to make it. So I got to crush up, and I kid you not here, over 12,000 dollars* worth of drugs for a kid. Fun flex there, eh? They both suck to compound though, as Mekinist is coated, so you have to tap the tablets until they crack and then add some of the vehicle to make it break up more, and Tafinlar likes to clump up as you mix it with the vehicle (it'll break up as you shake it in the bottle, however). Ah well. *gently caress drug companies so much

speaking of compounding pharmacies- many of them making bank on cheaper formulations of the newish weight loss drugs and poisoning people in the process trying to fill ridiculous amounts of orders I am wondering if the same thing is happening to a lesser extent with newer performance enhancing drugs that aren't scheduled

kirtar posted:It's probably not affecting rich people that much since they don't have to care if their insurance denies coverage. most of these compounds insurance would never pay in the first place but also many aren't verified to do much of anything in the human body much less what they claim. I wasn't clear before but I'm talking about injectable peptides, some used to stimulate production of androgenic hormones and dodge detection, but also the ones that allegedly boost longevity, neuroplasticity, etc. I'm not saying the drugs will do absolutely nothing but the claims by the producers are wild and you'd spend a fortune to use the compounds regularly. Side-effects not well-studied. With androgenic hormones, HGH, other performance enhancing drugs and even certain supplements (not just like creatine), there is at least an understanding that they'll have a specific and performance-enhancing effect.

Mustached Demon posted:Sheer volume put together as cheaply as possible leaves a lot of room to gently caress some up probably. in the case of stuff like semaglutide and similar orders from some compounding pharmacies, it's this. It's also onboarding people with little compounding experience/poorly training new staff and drops in proper sterility, potency, etc. For example, some pharmacies might use the salt forms in the product, which are not FDA approved. There are articles floating around about poisoning- accidental misuse or contaminants, it's difficult to get the big picture, as the data is far from complete. I was more using it as a jumping off point to discuss "performance enhancing" peptide drugs also made by some companies and compounding pharmacies.

He thought it did good things, I never jumped on that train. I suspect he just enjoyed the rush from injecting things.

I'm wary of anything that claims miraculous properties that have only been tested on animals. Regardless of similarities humans are not rats or chimps and what works on them doesn't necessarily work on you the same way. Until I see some solid double blind human trials I'm reluctant to trust anything that claims to do anything.

I ran into this cursed chemistry website: https://web.archive.org/web/20230208234401/https://chemistry-school.info/ It proposes a new and better periodic table: https://web.archive.org/web/20220305150636/http://www.atomic-elements.info/ A new naming convention, approved by UNESCO!  Detailed descriptions of the elements! quote:WHEN HYDRON ATOMS, JOIN WITH THE OTHER HALOGENS, quote:THE WASTE, FROM NUCLEAR REACTORS,

The position of hydrogen on the periodic table is actually discussed by the people who make periodic tables. The current position is a compromise choice.
