2019.05.13 02:16
Here's a story from The New York Times that I thought you'd find interesting:

Good Afternoon!
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention.
That article outlines some unfortunate practices in both business and pharmacy practice. As an online pharmacy, we are often associated with the negative stigma of poor business practices run by companies overseas in attempt to capitalize on American consumers. However, our VIPPS badge (and other accreditations) should grant you some peace of mind. VIPPS is an accreditation sector of the Nation Association of Boards of Pharmacy that is specifically focused on online pharmacy. One of their major focuses is around supply chain integrity, so we can arguable claim that we have a more cautious supply chain than almost every pharmacy you know. There are currently only 77 pharmacies in the country that meet their strict standards. While we cannot speak directly about all business practices of companies we do not have direct influence of, we can assure you that we do our best to only carry the most safe and effective options for the products you need.

You can view the ticket and reply from web interface from here .I sent the NT Times article to the on line pharmacy for their comment, where I get my medicines.
They gave me this answer promptly which I am sharing with you all.
This news should be shocking to all of us who
are taking generic drugs.
The issue in regard to the quality of generic drugs has been
my concern throughout my career.
I used to advocate brand names for my patients
as long as their medical insurances cover and as long as my patients
can afford the extra expense particularly when they are taking
critical cardiac meds.
Nowadays taking generic drugs have become a sort of norm,
a standard care of medicine, so that the impact of the quality of generic drugs
on human lives, including your life and mine, would be that much greater
and at the mercy of these manufacturers abroad which do all these bad things.
To say the least, I was shocked to read this article.
