Tracing this development, Disparate Remedies explores the integrated histories of the medical market and industrially manufactured medicines in colonial and postcolonial India, engaging with the cultures of both consumption and production.

Trade Review

“Disparate Remedies demonstrates the eclecticism of every aspect of the drug trade, illustrating how a lack of legislation and regulation largely resulted in a ‘free-for-all’ in the making, supply, and sale of remedies with the consequent ubiquity of counterfeiting, adulteration, and supply of substandard medicines. The great contribution of this book is that it provides a longer historical perspective and narrative than many previous works, suggesting that the rapid rise of the pharmaceutical industry in India can only be understood by knowing its historical context.” Stuart Anderson, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
