India's generic drug industry is world-renowned. Why is it so developed and used by Indians? Life? In exchange, India's generic drugs are not a little cheaper than genuine drugs. However, the United States has never opposed India's doing so. As early as the early 20th century, India's generic drugs could only be expired in Europe and America, and the genuine products on the market were very expensive. In order to survive, Indian pharmaceutical companies can only find another way and move forward to generic prescriptions.
In addition, India's policy protection for drug imitation is also relatively comprehensive. After 1972, the Indian government gave special protection to drug prevention and control, and even directly bypassed countries such as Europe and America, and strongly urged them to produce generic drugs themselves. Although European and American countries are quite angry with India's practice, India has to do such a thing, and it is only exported at home, and the quantity is relatively small, which is relatively small for drugs in other European and American countries.
India was once a British colony, and the British built several production bases on this land. After the British left, these good industrial bases were also used by Indians. In addition, India has a large population, and there are trial and error samples to do experiments. India imitates European and American drugs, copying them directly from their ingredients for production, but not branding them. However, due to its relatively few external sales channels, it has not had a great impact.
Over time, with the continuous export of Indian drugs, India has become a big country of generic drugs, even the world pharmacy. To some extent, although the ingredients of these generic drugs are uncertain, they are actually safe, but for the poor who have no choice but to buy generic drugs, the side effects are not so great, which really reduces their costs and is a great charity for these groups.
