In reality, these are drug products containing medicines or drugs. It is just like candy is not sugar but contains sugar, i.e., candy is a sugar product. The quality of drugs or medicines and their products are two completely different and separate characteristics. However, authorities in ignorance mistakenly describe these as the same. No one, including authorities and pharmacopeias, can determine or establish the quality of such products because the “quality” of such is undefined. Therefore, claims most often made following facility GMP inspections (positive or negative) or regulatory reviews reflecting the quality and by extension, safety and efficacy of the products are simply false. Pay attention to such false claims.
