FDA bans Ranbaxy drugs in US

I was shocked to read this news today:
FDA on Tuesday announced that it has banned imports of more than 30 generic drugs, including antiretrovirals, manufactured by Indian generic drugmaker Ranbaxy, citing manufacturing deficiencies at two of the company's plants...
The last few refills of my prescription medicines were made by Ranbaxy !  I even wanted to write about how 'India proud' I was and wanted to post a picture of the medicine bottle.

I remember a few months back when a cardiologist ( Desi ) told me he wouldn't trust medicines made in India, when I asked him if I can get my Cholesterol medicines from India.  I was a little upset when he mentioned about poor Quality Control by the Indian manufacturers.

Today, I realized that the doc. was right.
