KOREA EXPLORES WAYS TO MAKE GENERIC FLU DRUG
Amid rising global panic over a bird flu epidemic, the Korea Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it could override trademark regulations to allow Korea to produce generic versions of the anti-influenza Tamiflu to prepare for any outbreak among humans. The KFDA said it wrote to Korea's Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, Research-Based Pharmaceutical Industry Association and Bio Venture Association asking them to find a local company that can make generic versions of the drug licensed to Swiss pharmaceuticals giant Roche.
