"This" again in 2025- Made in India chemotherapy drugs have fatal side effects and failed quality checks: Study

The response from the Indian pharmacy and their government is deeply concerning. Our Medicare Advantage plan only covers generics, so who knows if the Losartan, hydrochlorothiazide, rapa etc., are also laced with harmful stuff which is shortening our lifespan rather than extending it. I was about to place a large order, now I don’t know if its safe to do so.

The article is linked below. It states that the amounts of medication was off, not that toxins were included.

For me, this would not stop me from ordering Rapamycin and other medications where the dosing amounts can be off by 20%. However if there was a drug where the dosing needed to be very accurate, such as for chemotherapy, I may choose not to order from India.
