The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the country's first domestically produced botulinum antitoxin, cutting the cost of the life-saving medicine by 90%.
According to deputy government spokeswoman Ploythalay Laksameesaengjan, the approval of locally produced "TRCS Botulinum Antitoxin" helps strengthen pharmaceutical security by ensuring access to an essential treatment without relying solely on imports.
The locally produced antitoxin would also cut the cost per dose to about 25,000 baht from around 250,000 baht for imported supplies, she said.
