Emerging Economies under Stringent Regulations Against Inhalation and Nasal Spray Generic Drugs

"The integrity of generic inhalers is being questioned in most of the emerging economies in the world due to the sheer number of companies coming forth with their versions of generic inhalation and nasal spray generic drugs."
