Many pharmacies were doing exactly this. And you're on the right track, but I think you'd want trained pharmacists doing this, not parents.

What would have made sense is investment/funding for pharmacists to formulate it for children rather than ordering a bulk supply of ####ty Turkish stuff that was never going to make it here in time anyways. Would have kept the money here and had a faster impact.

But hey, at least in the short term Smith got to score a few points dunking on the Feds.
