Description
When you are out shopping, you often see labels showing where the product is made.
But look at your generic medication and there is a good chance the "made in" line is missing.
Dr. George Ball, with Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, said this detail is important because the country in which the generic drug is made can impact its quality, according to a new study he co-authored.
"You just have to take it (generic medication) and trust it," Ball said.
The study's objective is to compare the number of serious adverse events for generic drugs based on manufacturing location.
