Pharmaceuticals

Malaysia’s pharmaceutical industry has shown steady growth in the past decade and is a key development focus. It encompasses various products like new drugs, biologics, generics (both prescription and OTC), health supplements, traditional medicines, and veterinary products.

Malaysian pharmaceutical firms can create a wide range of dosage forms, including sterile injections, and soft gelatin capsules. Many of these companies also undertake contract manufacturing for multinational corporations (MNCs).
