Curing The World

I’ve recently read in an international journal that many poor and developing countries are now importing medicine from India. Although most of the drugs manufactured in that South Asian country do not carry the big labels that we’ve grown accustomed to here in the United States, doctors say that they’re as potent as the branded ones.

I’m glad that there are companies or groups which are working hard to keep the cost of medicine down. Unfortunately though, there are some manufacturers who are selling substandard products. A number of cases have already been filed against these corporations or groups or persons. However, some of them managed to sidestep the law and continue to operate up to the present.

People should be vigilant in checking the potency of the drug and in determining which company produced it. They should check court records to ascertain that the manufacturer is a legitimate one, and that it hasn’t been the subject of any criminal or civil suit in the past for producing defective medicine.
