Have you ever taken an organic chemistry class? If you had, you'll have had a laboratory component where you're asking to synthesize various things and learn other basic laboratory techniques like fractional distillation, recrystallization, various separations, etc. Having gone through such classes, what you read in the textbook isn't exactly how it works. It's not exactly A + B --> C + D. The reactions don't run to 100%. You'll get less, and you get various minor products which end up being impurities that you want to remove. Imperfections in your techinque can cost you part of your yield as well.
The point here is that to get maximum value out of a reaction, you need a fair amount of experience, ultra pure reagents, ultra clean equipment, and optimized technique. And if your synthesis pathway is 15-20 steps from A to X, it becomes a fairly precise business to do it correctly and avoid contamination through each reaction in the synthesis. There's a barrier to entry into the market caused by simply having to meet what we all would consider basic standards of cleanliness and purity of the products.
And then, there's the batch testing to prove what that you have what you think you have so you don't end up with meningitis-causing bacterial contamination in your product that ends up killing 200 kids (well, young adults) before people figure out where it came from.
To answer your question:
Your mom & pop apothecary probably can do it on a small scale, especially if the pharmacist is old school trained or has experience compounding
Doing it on a large scale is going to require a fairly steep barrier to entry (ie it's very expensive, 7-8 figures) in terms of building a facility and obtaining the equipment to do it, getting someone competent to optimize it all and keep it running at a high standard. And after all of that, then you have to deal with the FDA
Even if you did set up such an operation, you still need medicinal grade chemical products to start with that you'll have to purchase from laboratory suppliers or similar.
You really can't get out of the "system" without compromising on scale, quality, or cost.
The drugs being mentioned here are off patent, so non-big pharma companies can manufacture them. Those companies would be in the business of selling a product, not creating the conditions to sustain demand for new products.
I think the idea is the big pharma corruption silences a lot of truth.
So they will develop something like iver which they can use to keep foreign populations free of parasitic disease, because the cabal NEEDS booming migrant populations at the ready
but keep the other applications absolutely under the table. Similar to getting amazon to block NAC and a few other supplements at pandemic height.
There are a lot of people out there who believe Big Pharma is trying to kill them, or the Elites are, or Bill Gates is. These are people who tend to believe very grandiose claims without much investigation for evidence or nuance. And I'm not making a statement that their premise is wrong, only that it lacks nuance.
NAC is a victim of this. It's a powerful anti-oxidant. So is glutathione. So is Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). So are a dozen other things you would recognize quickly if I listed them. It does what it does. It reduces oxidized species (ie molecules or ions in an oxidized state) of various kinds in the body, and in so doing detoxifies them or resets other biological processes that detoxify them.
Because of that mechanism of action, it has been attributed as a cure for countless diseases which have a component of oxidative stress in their pathophysiology. Usually it's infectious disease or cancer, but it can be a ton of things due to the inherent function of the liver, which is to detoxify, and the fact that so many things go through a fair basic set of metabolic processes to metabolize and eliminate drugs/poisons/toxins/whatever from the body.
Of course, it's more complicated than this, and that's why I talked about nuance. Yes, NAC might help with cancer, but the root cause of the cancer is a series of genetic mutations that causes some cells to reproduce and grow when they're not supposed to. The NAC will help with some of the symptoms of that extra growth, but it won't treat the root cause. You still need to kill the cancer cells. In an infection, it's similar. NAC can help with some of the symptoms when your immune system turns your body into a molecular battlefield, but ultimately NAC doesn't kill the pathogen. Something else does.
There's one other big one if I speak broadly. Chronic metabolic disease from an unhealthy lifestyle: obesity, diabetes, alcoholism, smoking, unhealthy diet, etc are all linked in that they stress the body's metabolic process to take in food, store extra as fat, shuffle the various components around the body, and eliminate toxins in whatever we're putting down our throats. NAC helps, especially if your condition is extreme and the liver's various mechanisms are overwhelmed, but it's not a cure. The cure is to fix the diet and lifestyle.
So, NAC (and anti-oxidants in general) get oversold. If you're reasonably healthy, you don't need NAC. Drinking enough orange juice and ensuring you get your RDA of essential aminos (to make glutathione) is really all you need. If you're unhealthy, NAC is only part of the equation.
Something that I need help with here.
We have an overwhelming consensus here that;
Big Pharma should not be trusted.
They have nefarious intentions towards us.
BigPharma wants to keep us dependent on the medications they make, so they can get rich off us.
And one way we can combat this is to;
Take medications like Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and fenbendozol, which treat a vast plethora of diseases.
Ok, now here is where my comprehension of this plan stutters.
Are you all whipping up batches of these medications in your kitchens?
Or is your friendly neighborhood Ye Olde Mom and Pop Apothecary producing this for you?
Because try as I might, I can't find a source that produces these medications other than.....Big Pharma.
And I know they can't be trusted and just want my money.
So......do you see my dilemma here?

Well shoot. There goes my new business plan of creating my own boutique "Small Pharma" chain of Ye Olde Cognitive Dissonance Apothecaries. 😮💨
The drugs being mentioned here are off patent, so non-big pharma companies can manufacture them. Those companies would be in the business of selling a product, not creating the conditions to sustain demand for new products.
Wait wait wait.
Are you serious? You think "Big Pharma" means people who make name brand medications and, what, "small pharma" makes generic?
Pardon me for one moment, please.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Whew. Ok. Back now.
Yeah, that's not what "Big Pharma" is.
I think the idea is the big pharma corruption silences a lot of truth.
So they will develop something like iver which they can use to keep foreign populations free of parasitic disease, because the cabal NEEDS booming migrant populations at the ready
but keep the other applications absolutely under the table. Similar to getting amazon to block NAC and a few other supplements at pandemic height.
Then why make it virtually a miracle drug, that treats everything from a cold to cancer?
Because that's what I've seen it represented here as literally hundreds, if not thousands of times in the past 2 years.

I really enjoy your comments. They're obviously very well thought out and I'm assuming you have extensive knowledge of some of the hard sciences.
Are you a chemist?
