In recent years the government has sought through policy to get small, uncompetitive firms to exit the market. Beginning in 2012, for example, generic drugs that meet the provisions of the PIC / S GMP Guide, which is issued by the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention and Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC / S), will enjoy a price guaranteed to be no lower than 80 % of that charged for brand-name drugs.
近年來政府透過政策，希望缺乏競爭力的小藥廠自然退出市場，例如，2012 年開始，符合「國際醫藥品稽查協約」藥品優良製造規範（PIC/S GMP）的學名藥廠，就能享有廠牌藥 8 成價的價格保障。
