ProPublica tool lets patients trace where generic drugs are made

Original: @ ProPublica gets a shout-out in John's most recent reporting of quality issues with generic drugs. It's a tool to look

John Oliver's Last Week Tonight reported on quality problems with generic drugs and highlighted ProPublica's RX-Inspector, a tool that lets people look up where their prescription medications were manufactured. The segment has drawn renewed attention to concerns over overseas drug manufacturing and to the investigative outlet's searchable database.

Why now: The new Last Week Tonight segment on generic drug quality issues is driving people to ProPublica's manufacturing lookup tool.
