Amsterdam, 3 April 2024 – Research from Teva Pharmaceuticals shows that Europe’s critical medicine cabinets – in hospitals, pharmacies, and homes – are home to fewer generic medicines. These are the often-cheaper alternatives to brand name medicines, that make up 67%[1] of all medicines. Over the last ten years, the number of generic medicines withdrawn from the market increased by 12%, while on average 3% fewer generics products were launched. In other words, on 31 December 2012, there were 40 280 separate generic products and 10 y…
