The Hidden Dangers of Generic Medications

The FDA does not run any of its own safety studies and solely rely on the data provided to them by pharmaceutical companies.

This is well-regulated in the US, but not abroad.

80% of active ingredients used in drugs are manufactured in India or China.

if you are a pharmaceutical company in the US the FDA can show up to your lab at any moment without warning and ask to see everything -- your lab set-up, safety data, and every log.

But if the lab is in India or China, they are given weeks of advanced notice as the FDA must get a travel visa, make sure the right people are at the lab, and as a good diplomatic gesture.

Researchers from the FDA found that of drugs from India and China…

- 50-60% of data of drugs sent to the US was fabricated.

- They substituted lower-purity ingredients for higher ones to reduce costs.

- The crushed up brand name drugs into capsules so that they could be tested in lieu of their own.

- At times they would just completely fabricate their data and even forged their own SOP's

So what can you do about this to decrease your likelihood of taking these contaminated medications?

1.Avoid going on prescription medications if at all possible.

2. If you must be on a medication, always take brand name whenever possible.

3. Avoid taking medications that come from India or China if at all possible.
