Worrisome!
Key Points:
- Drug making including ingredients have moved to China due to cost.
- China has pushed with state resources the manufacturing of drugs.
- China has a history of quality concerns. From Heparin to Tainted Pet Food.
- Pills that are assembled in the US and say made in USA, often have ingredients from China.
- Inspections of Chinese manufacturers are less due to cost. So US manufacturers get inspected more increasing cost.
- Due to competitive reasons, the FDA does not have a good idea of whom the suppliers are for drug ingredients.
