Indian Pharmacy - Zoltrate 10mg: Is It Legitimate?

Updated

Filled my Rx from a pharmacy in India. No serial number on tablet. White long oval shaped in silver packaging. Does not seem to work.

Zoltrate-10 should technically contain 10 mg of Zolpidem, so this is a foreign version of Ambien. I don't think that meds from India have to carry inscriptions like how drugs in the US do, but there is a huge manufacturing sector for generic drugs out there. If it's not working then is could be fake. Did you fill your prescription from a fairly reputable pharmacy?

Cost of Manufacturing medication is pennies in North America (you just pay through the nose) and much much less in India; so there is no point in cheating or making counterfeit drugs. Drug manufacturers want happy repeat customers!!!

I get fed up with people suggesting that medication from India and similar developing economies are somehow sub-standard. In the UK all healthcare is largely free. In England each prescription item costs about 8 pounds, regardless of whether it's aspirin or an HIV drug. But if you take a lot of prescription only meds you can get a card that costs 100 pounds and that covers the costs of every drug prescribed by an NHS GP or specialist for a year, including expensive cancer drugs, morphine and immuno-suppressants for transplant patients.

In Scotland, where I live, prescriptions cost nothing. Not even the Cialis (it's still under licence so generics aren't available) I take to counteract one of the more annoying side effects of my raft of bipolar meds. My point is, the NHS want to get these drugs as cheaply as they can, the taxpayer is paying directly for them, but as the first ,and still one of the most, advanced health services in the world they want perfect drugs. So they outource manufacturing to Cipla, Sun Pharma, Ind-swift etc because they cost pennies for boxes of thousands. The drugs are identical, possibly a different colour, manufactured to the same strict guidelines as the FDA and the UK's Care Quality Commission. They just use English on the packaging if the batch is headed for English-speaking countries. 10 mg of Daize-10 or Zepose 10 diazepam is exactly the same, chemically, as 10mg of Valium. No weaker, no stronger. Perhaps different bulking agents but we're taking chalk, not rat poison.

Americans waste a fortune by insisting on Roche Valium or Pfizer Viagra (sildinefal) when Crescent diazepam or generic sildenafil cost pennies and still get the old fella' up for the job because it's Viagra, just without the copyrighted name, which has expired. Teva in Israel make my amitryptine and duloxetine, Meda, who make my flurazepam are based all over the world. And, finally, my OTC cetirizine antihistamine even says Cipla proudly on the box. Made in India and proud of it! (I'm not Indian btw, I just think North Americans in particular when they demand their insurance pays for Pfizer alprazolam when a generic is quite possible made in the US and the Pfizer is probably made in Romania or Pakistan.

Stay well, Chris
