Director of the Government Analyst-Food and Drug Department (GA-FDD) Marlan Cole says the soon-to-be-established Caribbean Regulatory System (CRS) will not ban generic pharmaceuticals from entering Guyana but will in fact ensure that the drugs entering the country are approved as being of a high quality.
“How can we say that generic drugs would be banned when, for one, we cannot afford innovator or brand named drugs and most of the drugs used are generic? That would be foolish,” Cole told Stabroek News.
