The pharmaceutical industry in Pakistan is strictly regulated by the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan, which oversees drug approvals and pricing. History At the time of the independence of Pakistan in 1947, there were few production units in the country. Currently Pakistan has more than 800 large volume pharmaceutical formulation units, including those operated by 25 multinationals present in the country. Almost all the raw materials used in making of medicine are sourced from abroad. There are factors hindering growth such as the manufacturing of counterfeit drugs made from substandard active ingredients. The Pakistan pharmaceutical industry meets around 90% of the country's demand of finished dosage forms and 4% of active ingredients.
