The hypocrisy of drug re-importation laws, continued…

November 5th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Sooooo… the FDA says it doesn’t inspect drugs imported from China and India (and sold through U.S. pharmacies) for safety. Did you know that almost 80 percent of the active ingredients in prescription drugs sold in the U.S. come from these countries?

And yet, the FDA still wastes its time with the “issue” of U.S. consumers buying drugs from licensed Canadian pharmacies. Something doesn’t quite add up, does it?

Watch the Lou Dobbs report:

    Drug safety is definitely something we all need to be aware of. I knew there was a problem with counterfeit drugs (my blog about it), but did not know about the FDA not inspecting imported materials and that 80% of drug ingredients were imported.
