Key Economic Numbers: Brand vs. Generic
Savings to Canada’s health-care system A dollar spent on a generic drug supports more jobs, more investment in R&D, and more investment in pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity in Canada than a dollar spent on a brand-name drug. No other industry has made, or continues to make, a greater contribution to affordable health care in Canada than the generic pharmaceutical industry. Last year alone, the use of generic pharmaceuticals saved Canada’s health-care system more than $2.6 billion. |
