後発薬 相次ぎ大型商品 抗がん剤や感染症薬 沢井製薬など今月から 3割安、普及に弾み

According to sources concerned,generic drug makers at home ,such as Sawai Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd., are going to put on the market their generic drugs starting in May this year.

What are considered to be sold are anticancer drugs,infectious disease medicines and others whose patent terms have expired but are made with the same effective ingredients as new drugs.The prices of them are about 30% lower than existent ones.

These kinds of generic drugs are thought to be able to contribute to curbing the country's spending for medical treatment,which is now soaring,and also lowering the patients' burden for treatment.With many such drugs on sale, people's utilization of the drugs might get momentum.
