概要
 Ninety percent of the prescriptions Americans fill are generics, and almost half of those come from India. Most patients have no way to know which factory made their pills or what inspectors found there.FDA inspectors in India have described freshly painted “show facilities” prepared for their visits, while production happened somewhere else. One inspection turned up an unregistered testing lab with cats, birds and lizards inside, and staff tried to lock the inspectors out. Ohio State professor John Gray found drugs made in India were 54% more likely to be tied to severe adverse events, including hospitalization and death. When one Indian plant that made most of the country’s cisplatin and carboplatin shut down, children with cancer couldn’t get chemotherapy.Defenders of the current system point out that generics save Americans hundreds of billions of dollars a year and that many foreign factories are state of the art. Even the reporters say plenty of drugs from India are fine. Critics, including former FDA inspectors and Valisure, a testing lab in Connecticut, say buyers choose on price alone, inspections can’t keep up, and filing fees of about $360,000 per drug make it hard for U.S. companies to compete.Lyndsay Keith talks with Lisa Fletcher, National Investigative Correspondent, and Andrea Nejman, Investigative Producer, of Sinclair’s Spotlight on America.
