That's a little extreme; Vitamins are not so standardized as are prescription drugs. Prozac‹Fluoxetine‹is either Fluoxetine, or it isn't; either 10 mg, or not. Not so with vitamins.
In your case, the offending element was likely too much Vitamin A, which is toxic to the liver taken in large doses. The multivitamin probably had too much Vitamin A in it relative to everything else. India is one of the largest exporters of pharmaceuticals in the world. Without it millions of the world's peoples would not have access to prescription medications. A great debt is owed to them, I think, for making First-World medications available and affordable to the Third-World.
