With the tenth batch of national procurement about to start, we are once again standing at a new starting point in history, ready to welcome this new wave of reforms in the pharmaceutical industry. On January 9, 2024, the National Medical Security Work Conference was held in Beijing. It was mentioned that the centralized procurement should be promoted to “expand and improve quality”. A new batch of national organized centralized procurement of drugs and consumables will be carried out, and the selected varieties in the centralized procurement will be continued after the expiration of the agreement, so that the total number of national and provincial centralized procurement drugs will reach at least 500, an increase of 50 compared with 2023.

The announcement of the complete closure of Shenzhen Zhonglian Pharmacy also announced that this once top 100 chain in the country could not withstand the economic downturn and collapsed. It also brought back the author’s memories of developing a new OTC market in Shenzhen many years ago. Shenzhen, the forefront of China’s reform and opening up, the first special economic zone, is not only the “holy land” in the hearts of countless businessmen, but also the place where miracles are born. In August 2001, I was sent to Shenzhen by the company to develop the market due to my outstanding performance at the age of 25. At that time, the company where the author worked was mainly engaged in women’s products (sanitary napkins, panty liners), and its business scope was mainly in the southwest region. Based on the concept of increasing the added value of women’s care products, it developed ...
On September 11, 2024, Johnson & Johnson announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Tremfya (guselkumab) for the treatment of moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis (UC) in adult patients. The company claims that Tremfya is the first and only dual-action inhibitor targeting interleukin 23 (IL-23) approved for the treatment of active ulcerative colitis, further solidifying Johnson & Johnson’s leadership in the field of inflammatory bowel disease. Guselkumab is the first approved interleukin 23 (IL-23) inhibitor in the world, selectively binding to the p19 subunit of IL-23 to inhibit its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. It has shown strong efficacy for various autoimmune diseases; it can block IL-23 while also binding to the CD64 receptors on cells that produce IL-23. It is currently approved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis, and UC. Furthermore, in June 2024, Johnson & Johnson submitted a supplemental Biologics ...
Over the past decade, the cross-border medical intermediary industry has experienced a boom, followed by a sharp decline during the pandemic. It has only been after the pandemic that the industry began to recover, but very few companies have managed to endure to this point. Recently, the company Shengnuo Yijia announced a partnership with the Hong Kong Yanghe Medical Group, launching a patient service center in the Yanghe facility to assist critically ill patients from mainland China in seeking medical treatment in Hong Kong. Previously, Shengnuo Yijia focused on bringing patients to the U.S., U.K., Japan, and other overseas regions for treatment. Now, they are increasing efforts to explore the Hong Kong medical market. How should we view this change? According to Shengnuo Yijia Chairman Cai Qiang, cross-border medical services have entered their next phase. The key question remains: Where are the new opportunities in this industry? Seeking Treatment in ...
The “Nanjing Antibody Drug Screening and Transformation Engineering Research Center” built this time aims at the difficulties and pain points of key technologies and results transformation in the process of antibody drug research and development and industrialization. It will build and improve the two key platforms of “core technology breakthrough” and “innovation results transformation” to conduct independent localization research on materials and consumables required for the production of biological products, including cell culture medium, protein chromatography medium and virus removal nanofiltration membrane, and carry out results transformation and industrialization development for key innovative antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates and recombinant humanized proteins. Next, the “Nanjing Antibody Drug Screening and Transformation Engineering Research Center” will further promote the development of biological products and the joint development of upstream and downstream industrial chains, complete the transformation from biosimilars to innovative biological products, develop new antibody drugs with independent intellectual property rights, and ensure the ...
F Lab is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as feasibility studies, quality control, and troubleshooting during production. The powder analyzer can be used to check the tableting process of a formulation. Users can test raw materials under special conditions and compare various formulations. The compact device can even detect changes in the mineral mixture due to compositional changes. This powder analyzer is therefore a great support for the development of new products. The powder analyzer can be automated and is available in two models: the F Lab 5 with a pressing force of 5 kN for tablets up to 10 mm in diameter, and the F Lab 10 with a pressing force of up to 10 kN for tablets up to 15 mm in diameter. Depending on the customer’s needs, the device can be combined with an automatic data evaluation and display program and other analysis equipment. ...
Drugdu.com expert’s response: The registration requirements for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) in Mexico typically involve a separate registration process, rather than simply being associated with the registration of the final dosage form. This is because APIs, as the essential components of dosage forms, have a direct impact on the quality, safety, and efficacy of the final product. Registration Requirements for APIs in Mexico Approval from the Mexican Ministry of Health: The export of APIs to Mexico requires approval from the Mexican Ministry of Health. This signifies that APIs must comply with Mexico’s local pharmaceutical regulations and standards. COFEPRIS Registration: Manufacturers of APIs need to register with the Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS), which is the primary agency under the Mexican Ministry of Health responsible for regulating drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and hygiene products. During the registration process, companies must submit a range of documents, including but not limited ...
