We Sued the Government to Find Where Your Drugs Are Made

Generic drugs are supposed to be just as good as their brand-name counterparts: same ingredients, same effects, cheaper price. But are they? ProPublica spent 14 months investigating how the Food and Drug Administration regulates our drug supply. What we found was a system that gave substandard factories a special pass to keep sending drugs to Americans. We built a tool that will let you find out if your medication comes from one of these factories.
