Drug contamination is very real and overseas generic drug manufacturers have a long history of contaminating the drugs they sell to the US. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2020/01/big-pharma-wont-let-... It’s not just Zantac. It’s blood pressure medication and now diabetes 2 medication to lower blood glucose. If you read the Bloomberg article linked in the post, it’s even more scary. Basically they don’t test the drugs which is why They are being discovered one by one. If you’re on any sort of generic medication, it’s probably manufactured in India/China and it’s probably contaminated. And if it’s not contaminated it might not even fit to specifications, ie too much of the drug or too little per pill. It’s happening all the time and the FDA is reactive not proactive. There’s a quote in the Bloomberg article about a judge not wanting to peel the onion because it could be too bad. |
