Our Products

Our drugs come from many of the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers: Aventis, Abbott, AstraZeneca, Cipla, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, and Ranbaxy, to name a few.  Some are American companies and many are Asian.  All are high quality pharmaceutical manufacturers, who are either certified  by the US FDA or meet the World Health Organization Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.  According to Business World,  "India now has the largest number of FDA-approved manufacturing units [for prescription drugs] outside the US."  Some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world are based in Asia, and India alone has over 70 FDA approved plants and another 200 manufacturing units which comply with World Health Organization "Good Manufacturing Practices" (GMP).  Many of these companies sell directly to US consumers or sell raw ingredients to Western pharmaceutical manufactures such as GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, and Pfizer who in turn sell to American consumers.  Some Asian pharmaceutical companies also have manufacturing plants in the US.

Why Asian Pharmaceuticals Are Less Expensive

It is less expensive to manufacture pharmaceuticals in Asia for the same reason it is less expensive to manufacture shoes, clothing, cars, etc.  Nearly all factors of production - labor, land, raw materials - are less expensive in Asia.  Thus, the final product can be made and sold for a lot less, whether it's Banana Republic skirts or Ford SUVs. 

Drugs are also less expensive in the Indian market because the Indian population has a lot less income to spend on health care.  The per capita expenditure on health care in India is around $10 a year.  Thus, drugs cannot be sold in India for anywhere near the markup applied to US markets. 

Patent law in many Asian countries differs from that of the West.  In India, where the majority of Asian (and many American) pharmaceutical products are produced, pharmaceutical patents only protect the process by which a drug is produced, not the drug itself.  This is a policy aimed at promoting development and competition and reducing prices.  It's a policy that numerous nations have used historically, including Japan and the United States.  Under a 1995 WTO agreement called TRIPS, Indian manufacturers can legally reverse-engineer drugs and produce an identical product to a patented drug as long as they use a different process to produce the drug.  For more information on the WTO and TRIPS, and India's involvement in both, click here.   

  Are the Drugs Safe?
