A while back there was a news splash about a cancer-causing contaminate, NMDA, found in the popular OTC Zantac. I assumed the FDA found this contaminate but it turns out it was a tiny online pharmacy called Valisure This pharmacy tests all drugs for active ingredients, impurities, etc. before dispensing. For me, this is a godsend. I take a drug for a chronic condition in which the dosage is critical. Since generics are allowed to deviate by 80% to 120% of active ingredients, I can't afford the risk, so I have to take the brand name which costs a fortune. I've always wished there was a company that would test for the percentage of active ingredients, and now I've found there is.
The FDA does not test generics themselves, they rely on the drug manufacturers to "self-report". Hmmm, color me skeptical but I don't trust drug companies to self-report cross-contamination, impurities, etc.
The name of the company is Valisure. https://www.valisure.com/ I ran across this when reading this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/scie...d009ca-eb76-11e9-9c6d-436a0df4f31d_story.html
