A member asked:

Are these generics from india ok?

Possibly not: While there is some regulation of foreign imported drugs by the fda, there are many loopholes and defects in the regulation at points of transit. Therefore there are some products not as potent as desired, some are fraudulent or counterfeit, and some are just plain placebo. The buyer must beware here and while the fda is acting on this market, it is still fraught with some hazard.

Generics from India: Not sure what these are, but I would recommend using local prescribed medications, unless you live in India.
