More evidence emerges that our reliance on generic medicine from China and India puts us all at risk

the pharmaceutical companies themselves provided essential supplies for the thousands of workers they depend on

. The companies have invested tens of millions of dollars in cogeneration plants to provide power, and in communications systems. These were the two major areas that failed during Maria. While these particular systems are now better, the lack of adequate infrastructure on the island still poses a major vulnerability.. These APIs then supply much of the Indian market, where final manufacturing of the drugs occurs. We import 80% of our medicines from India.

“If China and India decided to simply stop selling raw material to the US – we would not be able to make about 80% of the drugs that we need,”Rosemary Gibson’sI surprisingly found Katherine Eban’s scarier, perhaps as it is newer to me. It exposes fraud and lies across the generics industry more broadly, with the same supply chain security concerns. I admire the investigative journalism.One of my pet peeves with medicines has been the insistence by the FDA and insurers that generics are interchangeable and therefore not allowing patients any choice in the matter. Patients know that some are not interchangeable.

They know how to win poison the medicine, steal their inventions, offer cheap labor, sell cheaper but inferior products and win by cyber security, not a shot fired. Only mention losartan, Olmesartan, Generic Norvasc and you begin to wonder.

This is not true. Generic medicine's are really doing good in india. And it is also benefit the economy of country & its people. And if you talk about side effects then all medicines have side effect. If not taken in proper manner

Over generalization! Few selective incidents with exaggerated reaction cannot undermine the reputation and credibility of Indian companies. Think about the huge savings for the healthcare in US. Anyone can see vested interests foul play.

Another Trojan horse! I don’t trust anything made in China.

FCK China. Just saying. We CAN purchase everything we could ever need right inside the confines of the border of the U SA!

Pero la cuarta decepción quiere surtirse en compañías de esos países
