Pethidin
Pethidin, marketed by Ain Shams University, is a general anesthetic currently available in the market. The drug's key composition patent is set to expire in 2028, providing a period of exclusivity that could help maintain its market position. However, the lack of reported revenue and key trial results poses a significant risk in assessing its competitive landscape and long-term viability.
