If one asks a physician and/or pharmacist whether a prescribed product is of quality, the response would be – sure. But why would it be of quality? Again, the response would be because it is approved by regulatory authorities such as FDA, Health Canada, and other national agencies as they assess and establish the “quality.”
Now ask the authorities the same question! Their response would be sure – we use up-to-date knowledge and the most elaborate manufacturing facilities assessment approaches for such assessments. But the question is, what are “such assessments”? Would you be able to equate or differentiate the quality of two given “blinded products” from different manufacturers or generic vs. brand names? Again, their answer would likely be – well, it is not that simple!
The reason being no one knows what a quality product is! It has never been defined and hence cannot be determined and/or established. Period!
