I added some clarifying wording to the second paragraph, which suggested potential wrongdoing. Apothecure is a compounding pharmacy and provides custom compounds to physicians -- and does NOT dispense compounds to patients.

Disclosure: I am a public relations practitioner who has worked for Apothecure, although I do not work on their behalf currently.

Regarding your change to the article, as the primary author of this page, I merely relayed what the story said: Apothecure "was investigated as a result of complaints that it illegally dispensed testosterone and growth hormones, once to a pregnant woman". Whether the dispensation was actually to the patients' physicians is not made clear.

As for the "and subsequently cleared" addition, I will reword it to reflect the more accurate, "In each case, according to pharmacy board officials, the board failed to find enough evidence to discipline the company, but instead issued a letter of warning." — Scientizzle 21:20, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Plenty of negative stuff out there...
