Japan will bring forward a target to boost the use of generic drugs by six months to September 2020, two government sources with direct knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday.
The rapidly ageing nation is aiming to lift the use of generics to more than 80% from around 56% currently – a move that would save the government hundreds of billions of yen a year, the sources said.
