It’s a fundamental tenet of health care in America: Generic drugs are just as safe and effective as brand-name ones. The only difference is the price... [But the FDA] doesn’t routinely test generics for quality concerns or to see if they’re working as effectively as brand-name medications. Instead, the agency heavily relies on drug companies, often in countries as far away as India and China, to do their own testing and to report any problems... ProPublica decided to test several generic versions of three of the most widely prescribed drugs in the United States: the antidepressant bupropion XL, the generic for Wellbutrin XL; the heart medicine metoprolol succinate, the generic for Toprol XL; and the cholesterol drug atorvastatin, the generic for Lipitor. A total of 11 samples from readers, ProPublica employees and the independent testing lab Valisure were assessed, representing a cross section of manufacturers from around the world... While most of the samples passed, the findings showed that one version of bupropion and one version of metoprolol, dispensed at least tens of thousands of times in 2024 alone, had irregularities that experts say could compromise their effectiveness.

So, like any reasonable person, I chugged an entire can of Cherry Coke before taking my econ final.

For the duration of the 3 hour test I vibrated so quickly that it made sound. I saw the concept of eternity in those 3 hours. Not in a horrifying way, but in the peaceful way that can only come with death. I could see into the astral plane.
