Current markets seem happier to let poor folks suffer, unfortunately. And generic meds that are produced in countries with little regulation/oversight especially aren’t going to get magically reformulated to needed specifications if they lower profit margins. Even if there was market pressure, the medical solutions would likely be restricted to those who could afford name branded, specially formulated medications.
