BANGKOK, Feb 11 - Thai medicines have made headway into the
ASEAN market, generating around Bt80 million in revenue last year as
pharmaceuticals registered in the ASEAN region.
Government Pharmaceutical
Organisation (GPO) Director Dr Vithit Attavechakul said Thailand has advanced
in manufacturing medicines for chronic diseases which are widely exported to
several ASEAN countries, mainly Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam.
Anti-viral drugs for AIDS,
anti-diabetic, and anti high-blood pressure drugs are most popular among all
medicines.
Dr Vithit said the popularity
gained was because consumers were confident of the quality of Thai drugs which
are standardised under the GPO and sold both in hospitals and drugstores.
He noted that GPO next week will
negotiate with Indonesia's equivalent of the Food and Drug Administration to
register Thai medicines there. There could also be a joint investment for
medications manufacturing in Indonesia. (MCOT online news)
