Foreign Policy: India is flooding the world with tainted drugs.

#Ranybaxy Problem?????

In the USA, the term "adulterated" has a specific legal meaning. If a company is not complying with Current Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations (cGMP), any medicines that it manufactures are considered to be "adulterated" under the law. In other words, its medicines are not manufactured under conditions that comply with cGMP. It does not mean that the medicine is necessarily substandard.

-The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority (MHRA) of UK as part of their investigations had tested samples of Ranbaxy products taken from the UK market. "All samples met the correct quality specifications" It said in its statement.

-Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration had issued ''good manufacturing practice'' (GMP) certificates for the Paonta Sahib manufacturing facility in Himachal Pradesh.

-Medicines Control Council (MCC) of South Africa too has assured that Ranbaxy drugs were safe and effective.

-WHO in its statement explained that it has a number of finished pharmaceutical products (FPPs), mostly HIV/AIDS drugs, manufactured by Ranbaxy on its pre-qualified list and added that a number of generic medicines prequalified by the WHO Pre-Qualification Programme (WHO-PQP), including those of Ranbaxy, have also been approved by stringent regulatory authorities (SRAs). SRAs are those national medicines regulatory authorities which are members, observers or associates of the International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use.

#BTW I thought our Chinese friends were quite allergic to sites like "foreignpolicy.com" and "TheDiplomat"; always criticizing them heavily for their 'China threat'/'China implosion' theories, etc. but take a break when anything comes against India - ^^^East or West, Everything is at its Best^^^ or rather its a japan connection too!!! Daiichi Sankyo; how can they leave it like that

#why so much of India obsession???

Disgusting cheaters!

We should ban all Indian products from entering our markets.

I don't want medicines from 3rd world countries like India that give me more problems.

I dont want any cheap copy cat china products from a 4th world country

Shame on you.

And shame on my Mother for not preparing Aloo Paratha as I wanted.

Aren't you sitting in a glass house and throwing stones? Read post #16 - If Indian drugs are poisonous, you guys don't even leave those and even produce a fake version of those.

I wonder how many babies die each year worldwide after consuming poor quality medicine made in India?

Is Ranbaxy now outlawed in India after committing such genocidal activities or do they still get away with murder?

Chest thumping Indians should know that they owe the success of their Pharma industry to exploitation on the expiry of drug patent, protection by their rogue govt and limited competition from other countries

Its high time that other decent countries like Thailand etc venture into the generic drugs.

Novartis loses patent battle in SC over its cancer drug - The New Indian Express

Swiss pharma major Novartis AG on Monday lost a seven-year long legal battle for getting its blood cancer drug Glivec patented in India and to restrain Indian companies from manufacturing generic drugs, with the Supreme Court rejecting the multinational company's plea

Unfortunately in 3rd world countries like India, they don't have any rules. India is the corruption capital of the world.

At a time the Indian pharmaceutical industry is attempting to brand itself to counter allegations of exporting counterfeit drugs, Ghana’s Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has accused three local companies of distributing fake drugs from India

Samples of the Ergometrine injection from India’s Ciron Drugs were found to be substandard as they contained no active pharmaceutical ingredients, FDA said. ‘Fake, substandard and contaminated imported Ergometrine injections when given to women will fail to control bleeding after child delivery and could result in death,’ it said. Though hospitals were not able to provide any information on the number of women and perhaps deaths this has caused, health workers told IANS that this is a real problem that has affected the country’s health delivery system.

All of them have given Ranybaxy a clean chit concerning its operation in their respective countries remarking "All samples met the correct quality specifications" but still if you consider the Americans; whom you guys often criticize for some or the other reason, as the only standard scrutinizer then I am really sorry for you....Damn it, even Ranybaxy's generic medicines which have been prequalified by the WHO Pre-Qualification Programme (WHO-PQP), have also been approved by stringent regulatory authorities (SRAs) of different countries of the world including USA, European Union, Brazil, Russia, and China and if I guess even Pakistan but still if someone has a problem like this you mentioned then no one cares about it....

Chest thumping cheerleaders should also study Isomerism first then spread BS like that...Patents are granted only for genuine inventions and not on repetitive inventions, simply changing the composition of the ingredients of the drug doesn't mean you have got a breakthrough further indulging in "ever-greening" of patent. 'imatinib mesylate' used in Glivec is a known substance not a new discovery.

Further while a one-month dose of Glivec costs around Rs 1.2 lakh generic drugs, manufactured by Indian companies, for the same period are priced at Rs 8,000. The result of which you can see in the treatment of a patient with imatinib for a year in South Africa which costs $33 896 (R312 234) – 259 times more expensive than the least expensive Indian generic alternative.
South Africans are missing out on affordable versions of life-saving medicines because generic competition is blocked by frivolous patents that prevent or delay generic competition. Proir to this South African authorities have said that they are considering implementing similar rules to India without violating international trade rules. This decision was not only a relief to the 28 lakh cancer patients in India but to many across the globe for their respective governments considering a similar actions.

Even the apex organizations like Médecins Sans Frontières, WHO, etc. welcomed the decision against evergreening of pharmaceutical patents.

BTW no one is stopping those "high-time" nations to venture into the global completion; let them come, we got to welcome them too.....

Indians are very anti-business people and they have total disregard for the rule of law.

I'm disgusted by their cheating.

Their fake eggs is the only invention they hadn't copied from anyone.
