In the only interest of earning profits, how a pharmaceutical company did ignore all the tests needed, falsified the data, tampered the records and fraudulently conducted its business is the story line of this book. Not all have compromised their integrity, some of the employees notice the misses and brings it to notice of the management of Ranbaxy but in vain. They leave the company. And one of them becomes a whistle blower and notifies FDA the drug regulating authority of US. From there begins the trial which runs over few years and then justice is provided, a sort of.
This book reveals lots of scary facts of how the generic drug making industry operates. While there is some regulation which is effective in the developed countries like US but in India there are no proper regulations or data needed to approve a drug and it is only the connections which will do the job. This kind of nexus between the regulatory bodies and the industry affects only one party - the patients. They don't know the drugs they are taking are properly tested or will it do the job it is intended to do or will it create any other issues. This shatters the belief in the system. Not all pharma companies are like Ranbaxy but cockroaches don't live alone.
Now I look at Indian pharma companies and the generic drugs with complete suspicion. I wish and hope the regulator takes interest in citizen's live's and raise their standards in improving the quality of drugs made in India.
