I have bought generics from India but can we really say GLP1 generics in India are better than compounded GLP1 in the US? It seems inconsistent to recommend one over the other.

India is quite good at pharmaceuticals -- their generics basically serve the rest of the world that are priced out of US-made products IIRC.

Ex. their generic version of Paxlovid:

Basically, with the expiring patents coming up on a bunch of these drugs:

We're going to be in interesting waters soon.
