You can’t “look up” the business practices of a business that doesn’t let anyone in to take a look unless forced to.
If a drug company on the other side of the planet is adulterating the drugs in a way that makes people sick 20 years from now, your bad reviews will show up 20 years too late.
If fly-by-night retailers on Amazon can game the reviews for USB flash drives, you sure as bet that an unregulated pharmaceutical company could.

If instead you only take what your doctor provides, and pick a doctor who checks independent tests of drugs before prescribing them, you can.
- kube-system 3y agoThere's a lot of people who take drugs who don't have the capacity or capability to evaluate risk before they consume them. And doctors prescribe a drug, not a manufacturing facility. They don't have any clue who will manufacture it, or where. How do you propose that someone who purchases an ibuprofen at a convenience store verify that it is safe, if independent audits are no longer legally required? Where would someone find independent test results? How would they know where it was made?
