India seems to be very backward, but its development in the medical and pharmaceutical industry is soaring. In particular, the development of generic drugs in India has broken through technical and geographical bottlenecks, making India the world's pharmacy. The reason for this is also related to India’s policy protection for drug generics, good industrial foundation and agreements on legal generic drugs.
India's generic drug industry is famous all over the world. The reason why it is so developed is that Indians sacrificed their lives. Compared with genuine drugs, India's generic drugs are not a bit cheaper in price. . However, the United States has never objected to India doing this. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, the only drugs that could be copied in India were expired drugs from European and American countries. Genuine drugs on the market were expensive. In order to survive, local pharmaceutical companies in India had to find another way out and move towards generic drugs.
In addition, India’s policy protection for drug imitation is also relatively comprehensive. The Indian government has provided special protection for the prevention and treatment of drugs since 1972, and it can even be said that it has directly bypassed Europe and the United States. The country strongly requires its own production of generic drugs. Although European and American countries are quite angry with India's approach, India insists on doing such a thing and only exports it within its own country, and the quantity is relatively small. It is not suitable for other countries. Drug patents in European and American countries do not pose a threat. Over time, European and American countries have left India's practice alone.
India was once a British colony of the United Kingdom. The British built multiple production bases on the land of India. After the British left, these good industrial foundations were also taken by the Indians. Come and use it, and with India’s large population, there are trial and error samples that can be used for experiments. India's imitations of European and American drugs directly copy their ingredients and produce them without OEM. However, because its external sales channels are relatively small, it has not had a major impact.
Over time, as Indian drugs continue to be exported, India has become a major country of generic drugs, and even a pharmacy in the world. To a certain extent, although the ingredients of these generic drugs are uncertain , is actually safe, but for those poor people who are desperate, buying generic drugs does reduce a lot of costs for them when the side effects are not so big, and it can be regarded as a great charity that benefits this group of people.
