Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom exposes the deceit behind generic drug manufacturing and the attendant risks for global health. Drawing upon exclusive accounts from regulators and whistleblowers, along with thousands of pages of confidential FDA documents, she reveals an industry where fraud is rampant, companies falsify data routinely, and executives circumvent nearly every principle of safe manufacturing to minimize costs and maximize profits, confident in their ability to fool inspectors. All the while, patients unwittingly consume medicine with dangerous and unpredictable effects.
The tale of generic drugs is truly global. It connects middle America to India, China, sub-Saharan Africa, and Brazil, and represents the ultimate litmus test of globalization: what are the risks of moving drug manufacturing offshore, and are they actually worth the savings?
Many have hailed the widespread use of generic drugs as one of the most important public health developments of the 21st century. Today, nearly 90% of our pharmaceutical market is made up of generics, the majority of which are manufactured overseas. We've been reassured by our pharmacists, doctors, and our regulators that generic drugs are identical to their brand-name counterparts, only less expensive. However, is this actually true?
A decade-long investigation with international sweep, high-stakes brinkmanship, and big money at its core, this book reveals how the world's greatest public-health innovation has become one of its most astonishing swindles.
Katherine delivers an explosive narrative investigation of the generic drug boom that reveals life-threatening dangers and fraud on a global scale.
