Originator Drugs Facilitating Targeted Treatment for Specific Inherited or Uncommon Disorders
Originator drugs are exclusive to the pharmaceutical company that discovered them and are covered by a patent. These drugs are used to treat uncommon illnesses for which there were no known effective treatments in the past. Rare diseases often have no effective treatment because they are not commonly observed. Originator medications bridge this gap by providing targeted treatment for specific inherited or uncommon disorders.
