And another prescription issue faces the American Public

From John Bos, September 23, 2008

Joann had her yearly review by The Cleveland Clinic. As usual, they did a review of her medications, etc. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. One of her Generic medications was made in CHINA!!!!!
Cleveland Clinic now uses the WATER TEST! I AM SERIOUS! If the medication is made in a country where there are warnings regarding the public drinking water, Cleveland Clinic says that the drug is not appropriate for human consumpution.
Apparently the U.S. Government does NOT INSPECT the sanitary conditions or the water supply where drugs are manufactured and shipped to the United States. This was a drug company that contracts with others to manufacture their generic products.
After our appointment we have decided to not consume ANY food that comes from China.
Many of our prescriptions come from Puerto Rico. These are in facilities that are approved and are manufactured in a clean environment. Brazil, Canada, and most European countries would also be acceptable.
Do you know where your generic drug is manufactured? We did not!!!!
