In the next 10 years, I see myself as a pharmacist working in a pharmaceutical company and transitioning into setting up my own generic pharmaceutical company. Moreover, I also see myself giving back to my community in the form of community service.

Influenced by my father’s current field of employment, I decided to pursue Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program.

The next solution they have is to undo the blockbuster mentality and this is closely linked to eliminating the link between drug prices and drug discovery.

Their solutions will help researchers develop drugs that society truly

    Pharmaceutical patents are patents for inventions within the pharmaceutical industry. Patents give exclusive rights for an invention for a product or a process of making a product [1]. There are many aspects to patents in the pharmaceutical industry that are both pros and cons; it just depends on what industry you are in. Pharmaceutical companies take out patents so they can regulate the market and restrict competition from other companies. By obtaining patents pharmaceutical companies also attract investment. In addition to this pharmaceutical companies can also regulate the price of the drug as they will be the only company selling that drug. However these aspects of patents can adversely affect the generics industry. The generics industry cannot make or sell drugs that are patented but once a patent licence expires, both the generics industry and the WHO see increased benefits as drugs become more widely available around the world (i.e. developing countries) at a lower price. Here we will discuss the pros and cons of patents from the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, generics industry and the WHO.
