Description
A New York Times Notable Book and Best Book of the Year: New York Public Library, Kirkus Reviews, Science Friday. The generic drug boom has been hailed as one of the most important public-health developments of the twenty-first century, with almost 90 percent of the pharmaceutical market now comprised of generics. However, a closer look reveals a complex web of deceit and life-threatening dangers on a global scale. Katherine Eban's investigation into the generic drug industry exposes the risks of fraud, falsified data, and executives prioritizing cost over safety. Drawing on exclusive accounts and confidential FDA documents, Eban reveals an industry where companies circumvent safety principles to minimize costs and maximize profits. The consequences for patients are unpredictable and often dangerous.
