This is a shocking story: A Giant Indian Drugmaker Failed to Fix Safety Breaches. The FDA Let It Off the Hook Again and Again.
Documents obtained by ProPublica offer a rare glimpse into discussions between the global drugmaker Sun Pharma and the FDA, exposing how the agency tolerated substandard manufacturing for years.
Holy crap! This is yet another story that should be all over the news and social media!
2013-now Obama Trump Biden Trump
Just a reminder that the #Uniparty is the true fascism
Corruption and monopolies in bed with regulators everywhere you look.
FDA has been one of the worst agencies for decades.
About 8 yrs ago I read an article stating that all generic drugs sold in US is made in either China or India. My question: do non generic drugs made in the US have better oversight and safety record?
good thing Trump lowered the prices by 1500%
There is a tension between negative inspectional observations and shutting the whole factory down. That would cause drug shortages, which can be equally dangerous. FDA didn’t have enough inspectors even before Trump. A worldwide pharmaceutical supply chain comes with a lot of risks.
Nothing beats starting the day by finding out that a couple of my prescriptions are on the list.
Tension between lower prices and safety.
Big Pharma, Utilities, Energy, Retail, Developers
Anyone who is a big corp really.
BUT let a citizen support other protesting citizens and they will be in court within hours.
Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals was bought by Sun in 2014 after Ranbaxy got themselves into serious hot water over a slew issues related to quality and business practices. Looks like Sun is no different. Read "Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom."
U.S. health inspectors are still struggling to address a massive backlog of pharmaceutical plants that went uninspected during disruptions caused by COVID-19.
I wonder how much they paid for so many chances?
Time to start checking bank accounts.
