Is it legal for a dermatologist to dispense medicine which he created and sell it to his clients?

My dermatologist gave me a liquid solution that he created (part acid/alcolhol and some other ingredients) for removing dark blotches from my skin which I am to use with an over-the-counter cream. The liquid has the doctor's own label from his office. Price was $35.Is it legal for a dermatologist to dispense medicine which he created and sell it to his clients?
That is great he can do that for you.





I had a osteopath that had his own muscle cream that worked better than anything you could buy. A pharmacy mixed it up especially for his patients. I love the stuff!





If your dermatologist has developed a solution that helps his clients, it is probably better than anything else you can find, either OTC or by perscription.





And as to the cost, $35 doesn't really seem like much, Retin A runs about $80 if you buy it at a pharmacy. That is what many dermatologists would perscribe for your skin.Is it legal for a dermatologist to dispense medicine which he created and sell it to his clients?
It should be illegal. I do know that it is illegal for a Dr to send patients to his own laboratory to have blood work. Can you check on your own states medical licensing board site and ask them?
well if your young then it's probably not his label but tell your mom to make sure and if your older I would report him or do some research on what he gave you and go to a different doctor for now on
Its unethical to say the least. His own brand probably doesn't meet the FDA standards . It is not legal for him to be selling it out of his office. Watch out cause you may get an infection or worse by using them. He needs to be turned in .
It is neither illegal nor unethical for a doctor to sell OTC (non-prescrip) medications. He knows what will work.


It it most likely salicylic acid and alcohol. Let me ask you this:





1) Does it work?





2) Do you feel cheated somehow? is that why this question?





3) Are you explicitly and *patiently* following the directions?
