Why does the government regulate prescription drugs from foreign countries?

Question

They say they are unsafe. Yet they have no control over product from other countries, like food, plants and Wal-Mart products.

Answer 1

uh, try again.

No plants enter this country unless inspected.

Same with food

Why should pharmaceuticals be any different?

Answer 2

It's plain and simple:  they don't want you to spend your money in Canada or Mexico--even though drugs are cheaper there, they want you to spend your money here.....they do not care that these drugs could be unsafe---because if they cared about unsafe drugs they would have much higher quality standards right here in the U.S.--all they care about is that they'll make less money if you buy elsewhere....

Answer 3

Your assertion that they have no control over food plants and Walmart products, is totally false!
