- Abstract
The authors comment on issues concerning drug approvals in Japan. They cite that procedures for approving drugs in the country can add years of costly research and development. They stress that public opinion has begun to turn against the policies and practices that create drug lag with the dearth of new drugs. They suggest that Japan must not only speed up its approval of new drugs, but also enhance its own research capabilities.
