and those indian made antibiotics sometimes are little different in effectiveness than candy

I dread it when any generic medication I get is made in india or china since the fda doesn't meaningfully regulate/test their stuff



Is that true? Since it should not be imported / available let alone perscribed if it doesn't pass the checks. And especially in the US, a doctor wouldn't hand it out if it didn't have the right paperwork because they would be litigated out of their livelihood.


I've imported many medications directly from India via the internet and so far it has all been legit - I don't go for the cheapest source YMMV.


No.

Ranitidine was pulled from US shelves. Indians sell it online. It's the real deal.

Alldaychemist is legit, but I've only bought dermatological/beauty stuff there.

I've even bought Modafinil from some US based website that shipped from India. Customs believed it was legit and seized a few shipments. One that got through didn't do shit but maybe it's just me.


I can't speak to the truth of the claim, but I do think it worth noting that they didn't claim they received it from a US doctor.


I wouldn't be surprised if they bin the good stuff for the export market.
