I am sorry to disappoint you but WalMart has special pricing (due to the high volume buying) to fast moving generics so they can afford crushing down mom and pop's small pharmacies and the majority of these generics come from China. Most of the major drugs in the past 2 years have been from drug manufacturers importing from China. The Heparin Syringe recall was already deemed as purposely being contaminated.

Feel free to bend over for standard drugstore pricing if you feel you can afford it. The rest of us will get our lower-cost meds at Wal-Mart. With the massive volume and customer base that Wally World has, I don't think they're going to risk liability exposure by selling us tainted drugs. They are in a position to build their own plants and set their own standards anywhere in the world they want.

Yep, I can easily see Wal-Mart branching into pharmaceuticals and healthcare. Pretty soon there’s going to be Sam’s Choice Viagra ROFL.

That is the problem, the Chinese have no standards, no way to control their products and ensure their safety and quality and accuracy of the dose. So let's hope that the next drug recall will not affect you. Playing RUssian roulette with your health is your right. Good luck!
