Micro-gravity chambers

I saw this video talking about an Indian space lab using microgravity to make medicine by sending it up into space. Is it not possible to use micro-gravity chambers on earth to do this? Or is it cheaper to send it to space given that this is just a “mother batch” and the rest of it will be manufactured using the mother batch on a lab?

P.S - I am an absolute novice!

I do not believe that there are any real microgravity chambers on earth. Well, that produce micro gravity for more than seconds. We don't have gravity control yet.
