Dirty medicine
- greenyoda 13y agoIt's nice to see that our news media can still produce such in-depth investigative journalism on important issues. The scariest part of this whole story is the FDA's role: "Indeed, the FDA -- charged with protecting the safety and health of Americans -- went even further. Despite the agency's finding of fraud and misconduct, it granted Ranbaxy lucrative rights to sell new generic drugs. In the most high-profile example, in November 2011 the FDA allowed the company to maintain its exclusive first dibs on making the generic version of a medicine taken by tens of millions of Americans: Lipitor."
