Health Canada has banned the import of all drugs and drug ingredients made by two Apotex factories in Bangalore, India, with Health Minister Rona Ambrose saying Tuesday night that the trust between the regulator and the Toronto-based drug company has been “broken.”
The regulator said Tuesday night that it has “significant concerns” and “serious doubts” about the company’s drug safety and quality data. The import ban will remain in place until Apotex’s “data integrity problems” are resolved.
No recall has been issued. Health Canada said “no specific” safety issues have been identified with drugs already in drugstores. “Consumers should not make any change to their medication without first consulting with a health-care professional,” according to the Health Canada release.
The ban affects more than 30 drugs from one Apotex plant in Bangalore, including a generic form of Viagra, the antibiotic azithromycin, and other drugs made to treat hypertension, dementia, high blood pressure, asthma, convulsions and Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The ban also extends to roughly 30 drug ingredients made at the second Apotex site in Bangalore.

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

I've never been to India but from what I know I'm shocked that they'd be able to produce anything sanitary enough for human consumption.
