- Summary: This FDA Form 483 was issued to Stephen A. Burklow, Owner and Pharmacist of Burklow Pharmacy, Inc., located at 4880 Woodbine Rd, Pace, FL 32571.

2.  Laboratory controls do not include the establishment of scientifically sound and appropriate specifications to assure drug products conform to appropriate standards of identity, strength, quality, and purity. Specifically, there are no established specifications for microbial limits for the non-sterile drug products prepared by the firm.
3.  Testing and release of drug product for distribution do not include appropriate laboratory determination of satisfactory conformance to final specifications and identity and strength of each active ingredient prior to release.
