Yes, I would avoid them too. Compounded with corruption and other issues, pharmaceutical plants are regulated at a state level and the regulations vary widely.

Yes, I would avoid them too. Compounded with corruption and other issues, pharmaceutical plants are regulated at a state level and the regulations vary widely. In some states, like Gujarat, the minimum level for the active ingredient to be be present in a drug is 0%. You can be getting a placebo and not be able to do anything against them because it is fully legal. From people I know in the business, it is quite common to have very large variations in active ingredients in a compound and blatant disregard for safety norms. Largely though, the poorer quality drugs are sent to African countries and higher quality end up in Western markets.
