Asia Pacific Generic Injectables Market Analysis

Generic injectables offer less expensive alternatives to branded medications with similar efficacy and safety profile. Compared to oral drugs, generic injectables are administered intravenously or intramuscularly, providing a faster therapeutic effect as they enter the bloodstream directly, resulting in quicker absorption and rapid onset of action.
