Today, ProPublica launched a first-of-its-kind app to help you find out where your generic drugs come from and what the factories that made them are like.
Here’s how to use it: https://www.propublica.org/article/rx-inspector-prescription-drug-lookup?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post
@ProPublica Can't find the app in the Apple App Store
@ProPublica This is a good bit of fear mongering and FUD. As your article states "Keep in mind that if you turn up a troubling inspection report, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your drug is compromised. Doctors and pharmacists advise that you not stop taking your medications."
Some of the medications I looked up could have come from multiple plants and there is no way to know which one my specific lot came from.
So I don't know if this information is really a cause for concern and I shouldn't stop taking a medication based on what I find here.
More information isn't really helpful if it's not actionable in any way.
Through our reporting, it became clear that patients and doctors don’t have all the information needed to make informed decisions about the medicines they take or prescribe.
More on how we gathered a trove of FDA information and put it all together:

Judging by your bad faith negotiation with the Union, I suspect this app is at least partly AI-generated.
