Beyond the primary product category, shipments on this route include closely related formulations such as artesunate 60mg powder for injection pac and pharmaceutical products / essential harmless medicines artenate-120 (artesunate for injection 120 mg), suggesting that buyers in Ghana tend to consolidate orders across related product lines from the same Indian supplier.
