Why is the price of similar imported drugs 5~ 10 times higher than that of domestic drugs?

Imported drugs are divided into imported original drugs, imported brand generic drugs and ordinary imported generic drugs. Imported original drugs are mainly developed by internationally renowned pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer, Merck, Lilly, Bayer, Novartis, etc.). ), and their high prices are mainly due to research and development costs. Generally speaking, the cost of R&D is hundreds of millions (for example, Lilly's star product Libitai spent $800 million on R&D), so if they don't recover the cost before the patent expires, such products will be welcomed by doctors and patients because of their high purity and good curative effect, and they are expensive and reasonable. (but for a pharmaceutical company with a high price like GSK, forget it. ) Imported brand generic drugs are usually produced by large generic drug companies (Tiva, Sandoz, etc.). ), and the price of such drugs is higher. Such pharmaceutical companies are either brands of multinational pharmaceutical companies (such as Rushtex) or enterprises with strong generic drugs and original research drugs (such as Tiwa), so the quality is still very trustworthy (some are even better than the original research drugs of small manufacturers). However, if the price difference is not big, it is recommended to choose the original drug. Ordinary imported generic drugs are usually the works of small manufacturers (such as Jirui in Hungary, Atvis in Iceland and Rambo in India). ), and the quality is very general, the price is similar to that of imported brand generic drugs, so it is not recommended to buy it.
