Amazon is in exploratory talks with generic-drug makers

I bought 4-5 items this year that were sold and dispatched by Amazon which turned out to be counterfeit.

Even without direct commingled inventory the generic supply chain is riddled with counterfeit and quality control issues.

There is a very big difference between buying a Generic from the likes of TEVA or Novartis vs some low tier Indian or Chinese generic manufacturer.

Even large health care providers have been struggling with the quality of generic these days when not buying from the top 3 manufacturers im not seeing any reason for Amazon to do any better.

You, sir, seem to be suffering from a lack of information, over-confidence in marketing, and I kindly provide you this article: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-novartis-india-warning-id...

That’s actually drives my point even further if even Novartis which is the second largest manufacturer of generics in the world has supply chain issues.
