At this price point can't a company from India knock out a few million pills for cents a unit and undercut the market?

- monocasa 8y agoThe issue is more the licensing and initial inspections rather than actual production. And I'm a big fan of these inspections. As bad as some of our prescription distribution is, it's nothing compared to India/China and their customer nations. You're borderline lucky to get the right drug, that's been manufactured to spec, and has been stored properly.
- pg_bot 8y agoThis has already happened. Daraprim (Pyrimethamine) is available today in India for pennies.[1] You can't import it into the United States without breaking the law. The American public should be outraged at the FDA for disallowing drug importation and their overwhelmingly onerous ANDA policy.
