Since the introduction of generic drugs in Brazil five years ago, the country's pharmaceutical industry has undergone a transformation. Generic drugs have been steadily gaining market share and today represent 11.6% of total production. Their rise has led to a decline in the influence of major multinational drug companies that sell branded products in the domestic market.
Generic drugs, however, are not the only danger confronting these multinationals. In an attempt to negotiate discounted prices, the Brazilian government is threatening to violate the patents on medications used to treat AIDS.
That threat alone, say the multinationals, will lead big drug companies to reduce their investments in Brazil's pharmaceutical sector.
Because of the continued danger that patents will be violated, employment in Brazil's scientific research sector has dropped to about 20,000 from a total of 24,000 jobs in 1999
