Well if you take generic drugs here in US sold at all drug stores, you may be getting bogus ingredients, too. I looked up my blood pressure meds and if it is not Brand Name or made by Parr corporation, it is bogus.

My thyroid med was always Brand, Synthroid. I noticed they were giving me a generic, and it is NOT the same active ingredient. Is it “similar”

Drugs made in India are inferior and many drug making companies there have been shut down. But there are not enough inspectors.

I called the 800 number for CVS and the person talking to me admitted that Generic drugs for the most part are inferior and made only for people who are hypochondriacs and they just want to take the pills. Most generics are no better than SUGAR PILLS....

That’s not very comforting to hear. We’re going to have CVS/Caremark come January. And dealing with Express Scripts/Medco was no day at the beach either.

If I'm just taking 'sugar pills' why does the blood work come back with the proper levels of the drug in my system?

Could it be that the lab looks at what my generic drug is supposed to be doing and then enters a fake number into the results?
