Many have hailed the widespread use of generic drugs as one of the most important public-health developments of the twenty-first century. Today, almost 90 percent of our pharmaceutical market is comprised of generics, the majority of which are manufactured overseas. We have been reassured by our doctors, our pharmacists and our regulators that generic drugs are identical to their brand-name counterparts, just less expensive. But is this really true?
Katherine Eban’s Bottle of Lies exposes the deceit behind generic-drug manufacturing—and the attendant risks for global health. Drawing on exclusive accounts from whistleblowers and regulators, as well as thousands of pages of confidential FDA documents, Eban reveals an industry where fraud is rampant, companies routinely falsify data, and executives circumvent almost every principle of safe manufacturing to minimize cost and maximize profit, confident in their ability to fool inspectors. Meanwhile, patients unwittingly consume medicine with unpredictable and dangerous effects.
The story of generic drugs is truly global. It connects middle America to China, India, 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 worth the savings?
A decade-long investigation with international sweep, high-stakes brinkmanship and big money at its core, Bottle of Lies reveals how the world’s greatest public-health innovation has become one of its most astonishing swindles.
这本书给我感觉和bad blood很像,也是一个记者多方访谈追踪揭露制药厂的骗局,读下来触目惊心,一遍遍问这是真的吗?真的吗?怎么会这样?FDA完全不可信了?简单结论就是千万不要再吃generic drugs了!

评分哇 精彩!
评分看完是有些心力交瘁的一本书... 作假真的都是登峰造极... 还有作为一个whistleblower要有的自我修养…Eban的故事真的写得很好很清楚...只可惜近期是看不到happy ending了吧…
评分好的质量控制来自于对过程关键环节的把控,以及事先没有通知的检查。而不是对成品的ad-hoc抽查。而全书讲述的FDA inspector在全世界各地工厂质检抽查的经历,为何就这么让人感到熟悉呢? 尾声尤其值得一读。
