Competitive Landscape

Operates in a highly competitive environment against both domestic and international generic players, facing constant pricing pressure.

Geopolitical Risks

Minimal exposure to the US market (safeguarding from US tariff risks), but faces regulatory risks in other regulated markets like Europe and Canada.
