  It's almost like chemical preservatives aren't this evil master plan by the global elite to murder everyone...
context: Indian needs to absolutely police it's drug industry better.   If it gets a reputation for poor quality it will go the way of Chinese baby formula companies. >
  
  This is actually making it worse, consumers cant trust drugs made in India are safe or not.   
  At the end of the day it will only take a few more of these cases and India can forget ever exporting drugs to the west. >
  
  Technically true but that rule was made to enhance ease of business ranking in India.
  What the solution should be instead is that US drug agencies should investigate incoming drugs from India.
  They already do have factory compliance and investigations here from US agencies (at least those companies which go by the book)

  India exports drugs to the world, it's not just the USA.  Lots of smaller poorer nations can't afford to test every drug and its not j6st a once off.  
  The previous case just a few days ago was children cough medicine using anti freeze killing kids across many countries. >
  
  Yes I've read about it and I agree on that factor. So there probably needs to be some change in policy for export licenses >
  
  Anyone know the actual product names??? >

  Anyone else about to start buying eyedrops WITH preservatives just to avoid this scenario? >

  I mean. None of it ever is. It's an evil mastermind plan to make shit last for a really long time so you can preserve inventory and make profit. Still not great for you. But my blood is now full of PFAS so what do I know. >
  
  Cough syrups,  eye drops, God knows what else are we getting too at our local pharmacy. >
  
  There was this national level racket that got busted recently. They were selling fake antibiotics and medicines for acidity problems with a very convincingly similar clone of the original makers. So yes, this is a thing in India as well. >
  
  I hope they weren't selling fake chemo drugs.  I would be totally enrampaged by that. >
  
  You know, my favorite eye lube is Japanese and it's hard to get every so often.  I should thank the FDA, maybe it's a good thing >
  
  TIL that some people think bukkake is an eye lube. >
  
  Seems like a good eye-dia >
  
  Eye don't think so >
  
  It's gonna be so easy to malign all india medical products at this rate.
  Most of the pr people won't even have to do much as my countrymen take the rage bait so easily lol.
  Can already see a lot of snide comments that basically assume all india medical products are now poison then indian posters will take the bait and argue in very polite language../s this will create a perception that cheap indian drugs are bad and it's better to just spend more money instead to buy the more expensive ones.
  It's kind of similar of how all chinese products are cheap, low quality and harmful all it takes a little bit of greed. >
  
  Chinese may be known for cheap products but in China you would hang over these Bad Drugs. >
  
  Hahahahaha the FDA bans kinder eggs but they allow poison from india that literally makes you blind. >
  
  How long were kinder eggs legal and allowed? >
  
  They never were in the US because the law banning them comes from the 30s before kinder eggs even existed. >
