Pharmaceuticals

The pharmaceutical industry in Malaysia has grown steadily over the last decade and has been identified as a key growth area. Pharmaceutical products manufactured in Malaysia include new drug products, biologics, generics (prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) products), health and food supplements, traditional and complementary medicines (TCM) and veterinary products.

Local pharmaceutical manufacturers have the capabilities to produce most forms of dosage, including sterile preparations, injections and soft gelatine capsules. Many Malaysian manufacturers are carrying out contract manufacturing for MNCs.
