One of my mother’s cousins worked as a QC expert for one of the Big 4 accounting firms, and she was very involved with QC at pharmaceutical companies. She told me that the generics have to meet the same standards as the original drugs. Many are made in the same factories as the originals, many are made in Israel, Canada, Japan or the UK (hardly Turd World $hitholes that know or care nothing for quality or morality). The problems that may occur are as a result of cheap Chinese or Indian knock-offs...and those are generally not sold in reputable pharmacies (Walgreen’s, CVS, Walmart/Sam’s Club, Costco, etc.). That stuff is mostly sold online...which is buyer beware for anything that is a “screaming bargain” - because there’s usually a not-so-palatable reason why the product is so cheap.
I had a friend bring me back a course of Cipro from India, and it was like 4 rupees, whatever that means.
I’m pretty sure it was about 45 cents, or something. She refused payment from me, it was so little.
Am I to believe that is made to the same standard as our Cipro?
