Until the heads of the pharmaceutical companies are held 100% criminally and financially accountable, they will continue to outsource to the lowest bidder and just let attorneys handle the suits. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

But, if it's a 20 year old female from China, I might give it a shot. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

It's funny how we piss and moan about the FDA...until they find tainted medications from China.  ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

+1 Anything where the quality/ingredients/design cannot be identified visually as being correct, I don't get from China. Cheap furniture? What's the downside? But drugs?!?!? I would refuse to pick up a prescription filled with Chinese-made 'pharmaceuticals'. There are plenty of pharmacies out there. | |||

Now there is a recall on a few thyroid medications due to components manufactured in China failing to meet FDA standards. "Westminster Pharmaceuticals, LLC is voluntarily recalling all lots, within expiry, of Levothyroxine and Liothyronine (Thyroid Tablets, USP) 15 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, 90 mg, & 120 mg to the wholesale level. These products are being recalled as a precaution because they were manufactured using active pharmaceutical ingredients that were sourced prior to the FDA’s Import Alert of Sichuan Friendly Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which as a result of a 2017 inspection were found to have deficiencies with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).

Read this AM that a Chinese pharma company screwed up a whole bunch of DPT vaccine sold to a Chinese province. I would hate to be the president of that firm.

Now certain Losartan HCTZ medications are being recalled. Same reason. https://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm625492.htm Getting ridiculous. | |||

Some Walmart vitamins are made in China. I just returned two unopened bottles. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

I take Losartan/HCTZ in the dosage listed in the recall. The label says they are made by Aurobindo Pharma in India and should be okay. I'll check with my pharmacist to be sure though.

I have , along with other people, noticed side effects when refilling BP prescriptions at times, even though the medication and dosage remained the same. My body adjusted, and when it gets refilled, slight side effects occur again when refilled. This is from generic based medications. I think now, its the variance in chemicals. Perhaps ingredients from China causing it. 美しい犬 | |||

I checked my wife's this AM. Same Indian company. Sandoz was the recalled manufacturer.
