As long as they keep it made right and enforce quality control. Nothing is worse than getting bad meds........

How much is price vs cost? The large pharmaceutical companies here in the USA are also major suppliers of raw materials that make up the pesticides and herbicides we use everyday. Quality control is an absolute must with drugs. A few extra mg of bromide and you have a weed killer. Bromide is found in asprin. Like Clint Eastwood said do you feel lucky?

It was reported that some bad Heparin came from China, but it was later proven to be safe. China needs to be extra vigilant in the area of quality control if it wants to restore it's reputation. (especially with drugs)
