Pennsylvania Fines Boothwyn Pharmacy $1 Million, Puts License on Probation

The action follows findings that the Kennett Square pharmacy produced and packaged GLP-1 injectables in uninspected facilities.

Overview

  • State investigators say roughly 30,000 doses were compounded beginning in September 2024, with production exceeding 1,000 doses per day.
  • Medications were made in uninspected rooms at the main site and transferred to a second building for inspection, verification, and packaging that had not been approved by the State Board of Pharmacy.
  • During four inspections from November 2024 through March 2025, staff did not disclose the ongoing compounding or the use of the unlicensed processing location.
  • Under a consent agreement, Boothwyn admitted violations, placed $500,000 of the penalty in escrow, must pay the remaining $500,000 within a year, secure Board inspection approvals, and obtain National Association of Boards of Pharmacy compounding accreditation before seeking removal of probation.
  • The enforcement action tracks with the FDA’s phase-out of broad GLP-1 compounding after shortages ended, and the pharmacy says it has since passed a state inspection and reports no known patient adverse events.
