You might want to check with the FDA to make sure the manufacturer is a legitimate / approved manufacturer and proceed from there.

Counterfeit drugs have also been made or distributed in the USA

SNIPThe majority of drugs sold in state-licensed American pharmacies are manufactured in Puerto Rico, with backup facilities in the U.S. and elsewhere, says McGinnis. "The FDA goes to these manufacturing facilities, no matter where it is in world, and inspects it to make sure there's the right active ingredients and right equipment to make the product. We monitor the shipment and storage, we monitor the product from warehouse to pharmacy. We're comfortable with products sold in the U.S."

Search for drugs manufactured in India
