Refiling one prescription at a very large chain I did not reconise the brand, so checked it out. The company has somewhat about (who knows) 500 different manufacturing sites in China and India. There is obviously no inspection on any or all of those sites. This drug from China was the same price as American drugs! My doctor tells me that there have been major disasters from some of these drugs not being what they were supposed to be. At some point in the chain (not nessarly the consumer) the price is lower on drugs from China and India. So if everyone converts to those drugs it will finish running American drug makers out of business, and only leave drugs with unknown ingredients. I refuse to accept drugs from unsafe drug manufactures. The FDA does not even inspect everything that American drug manufacturers do.

Big Pharma lining the pockets of FDA and other government officials. I take Advair. It costs right at $400 per month if bought in America. But I buy mine directly from a Canadian pharmacy and get a generic from India for a little under $100 for THREE MONTHS! My doctor was a little hesitant about buying drugs from Canada, but he agreed provided I promised to tell him if it was legitimate or not. I'm glad he wrote me the script because I have saved THOUSANDS of dollars over the last 15 months that I've been taking it. @dman – The explanation is simple.

I'm all for cheaper medicine. But it seems like we already are doing this, it's just being done in a different way. Can someone explain the difference?
