Generic Drug Manufacturing Unit at pharma park at Kakkanad, Kochi

 

  • Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients, in the very same strength, as brand-name drugs. When a medicine is first developed, the pharmaceutical company that discovers and markets it receives a patent on its new drug. The patent usually lasts for 20 years, to give the originating company a chance to recoup its research investment. After the patent expires, a generic version of the drug may become available. Generics are marketed under the drug’s chemical, or "generic," name and meet the same Drug regulator quality and effectiveness standards as the original.

  • Brand-name manufacturers charge more in the India and elsewhere in the world. due to drug price deregulation. The high costs of drug research and marketing, which generic manufacturers don't have, drive up their pricing. However, generic manufacturers keep prices.low by avoiding advertising cost

  • Generic Drug Manufacturing unit aims to set up a manufacturing unit for generic drugs, such as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and anti-inflammatory agents, at the proposed pharma park at Kakkanad, Kochi. The project brief is to produce high-quality and affordable medicines for the domestic and export markets, leveraging the existing petrochemical and chemical industries in Kochi.
