With the current high cost of pharmaceuticals and continued cost increases for medicines, why is the production of medical drugs being outsourced to foreign nations? As indicated in a recent article on Fox News entitled “FDA Finds Heparin Contaminant That Killed 19”, the blood thinner was created in China. Is the United States economy so bad that vital medicines must be made outside the U.S.? When is the public health placed with such a cheap price tag? The article also indicated a less expensive compound was used and that caused the 19 deaths. The public needs to start questioning pharmaceutical companies and hold them accountable for your health.

Torment move In February Baxter recalled thousands of bottles of the blood thinner drug heparin. The recall was issued after some of the drugs were linked to four deaths and countless allergic reactions. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is inspecting the Baxter facility in New Jersey, a Scientific Protein Laboratories facility in Wisconsin, and a factory in Changzhou, China for signs of contamination. There is a lot of suspicion focused on the Chinese factory, which is being inspected both independently and jointly with the United States by the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA). Apparently, the factory in Changzhou was not inspected by the FDA because of a mix-up with names and was not inspected by the SFDA because it is currently classified as a chemical manufacturer, not pharmaceutical.
