Yes our meds are made in China. That’s why Kodak is going to start making medications here in the US.

China does not manufacture our meds. They supply ingredients and that is decreasing.

[steve86]

Completed medications are not supplied by China to the U.S. market. Ask any pharmacist.

Yup, China provides the powders and other ingredients that are pressed into pills here, not the actual finished pills, anyone who says the active ingredients are manufactured in China is just being silly.

[steve86]

China does not provide the finished drug compounds. Only some of the the ingredients that pharmaceutical manufacturers use to create the medications.

The Food and Drug Administration estimates that at least 80 percent of the active ingredients found in all of America's medicines come from abroad – primarily China.

80% = "some".

Got it...

[steve86]

You were arguing that China supplies stuff that is “pressed into pills here” and had to back off that silly claim. The medications still need to be manufactured.

[HollyB]

Same thing

[HollyB]

And they do manufacture many meds. Have you seen reports of ibuprofen being recalled? That’s just one thing from the top of my head.

[null and void]

I think we’re done here.

[steve86]

My comments are with respect to Rx medications.

And no, ingredients and finished manufactured products are not the same thing.

[HollyB]

I need to find the company list which manufactures our meds before they ever put the local ‘label’ on the box. They are all Chinese subsidiaries .
