Reply #20: I Know And Feel Your Skepticism Here About India........

but it is true that many raw chemical ingredients are supplied to U.S. companies by Indian companies and companies in Asia. These facilities have to be FDA approved. Occasionally we hear of problems with foreign manufacturers of raw chemicals - but we have similar issues with U.S. based companies and recalls of products because of poor manufacturing, quality control issues or just plain negligence. I think if you wanted to - you can go to the FDA website and monitor drug recalls.

It's interesting to note that some of the products that are shipping out of India through this Canadian company are still under patent in the U.S. I can't help but think that this is giving Big Pharma U.S. 'kaniption fits'. Seems to me that this borders on illegal - but I'm not a patent lawyer, etc.

If it were me - I'd want to know the source of the drug that I'd be taking and then I would want to make sure that the source was not in any FDA hotwater.
