Pharmacy Sentenced for Unlawful Distribution of Prescription Drugs

A compounding pharmacy based in Nicholasville, Kentucky, and its owner, Jeremy Delk, were sentenced in federal court for unlawful distribution of compounded prescription drugs.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, Tailor Made Compounding (TMC) was sentenced to three years probation and forfeited $1,788,906.82. Delk was also sentenced to three years probation, including four months home incarceration, 100 hours of community service, a $20,000 fine, and a prohibition from participating in a business involving the distribution of prescription drugs.

The charges stem from a scheme in which TMC sent 112 vials of Methylcobalamin, a prescription form of vitamin B12, to a licensed physician in the Greater Los Angeles area. The physician made bulk orders of the medication without issuing prescriptions or providing accurate patient names, and Delk knowingly caused TMC to fill and ship the bulk orders.

Delk also took steps to hide records of TMC’s wholesale distributions of Methylcobalamin during an inspection by the FDA and the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy in 2018.

TMC pleaded guilty to distributing unapproved new drugs throughout the United States, including selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMS) and other substances not approved for distribution in the United States. The company agreed to forfeit $1,788,906.82, representing its 2019 sales for these products.

The investigation was conducted by the FDA and the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney’s office was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kate K. Smith.
