Generic Pharmaceuticals
Development goal: 15 generics a year
Rather than continuing to develop just a few generic pharmaceuticals a year, we are strengthening our R&D capabilities-in terms of personnel and research equipment-so that we might develop more than 15 generics a year.
With more some 150 items, Chemiphar boasts one of the largest line-ups of generic products (as of March 2010) of any Japanese innovative drug manufacturer.
