Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd

This is not direct site related but may be of interest to many in the group.

Just because you buy your drugs in the USA does not mean you are getting quality inspected drugs. Many of the drugs this company makes, members of this site do take every day. Common generic replacements. FDA is not saying to stop taking yet.

This is just another case of who do you trust? I looked at my pill bottle to see who makes one of the listed drugs on the list. I have no idea for the pills were taken out of the factory bottle and put in the pharmacy bottle. I am clueless on what brand of drug or origin of the pill. How does on protect them self?

The FDA letter dated September 16 2008.

The best way I've found to insure quality is to buy from a mom-and-pop local shop, no exceptions, where the owner is there and can show me where his stuff came from. Yes, it may cost a bit more, but to me, it's worth it.
