China is particularly deficient in this area. There have been many cases of dangerous and contaminated drugs coming in (illegally, for the most part) and causing trouble. That said, I am generally in favor of importing drugs from Canada, as long as the drugs imported have controls which are equivalent to what the U. S. FDA has. Best, Bob Robert A. Fink, M.
