>I read an article that said eu had stoped meds on the list until restudied.
Not as yet. Only four countries have stopped distributing meds on the list so far. Because there is no evidence of patient risk, most countries are only likely to block the sale of those generics where there are alternative products from other manufacturers.
>they listed a few manufacturers that were involved and teva was not one.
A few of TEVA's products were affected, but only a tiny proportion. TEVA have clearly not outsourced very much research to the company involved.
>Don't the pills all come from one source and go to everywhere like Europe and the USA?
Not always, no. I do think TEVA olanzapine sold in the US is very likely to be the same product (but packaged differently) to the one sold in Europe. If so, that's good news because European TEVA olanzapine is not affected.
