Qilu Pharmaceutical’s R&D personnel conduct formulation process research Normal blood clotting function is essential for maintaining human life. Vitamin K1 is an essential coenzyme for the liver to synthesize four clotting factors (II, VII, IX, and X), playing an irreplaceable core role in the body’s clotting and hemostasis processes. Clinically, excessive use of oral anticoagulants such as warfarin, obstructive jaundice, bile leakage, chronic diarrhea, or long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics can all lead to insufficient vitamin K synthesis or intake, causing abnormal blood clotting function, requiring timely exogenous vitamin K1 supplementation to correct the problem.

【EXPERT Q&A】Why is the cycle of drug clinical trials usually very long?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: Many people assume that the lengthy R&D timeline of a new drug stems from slow experimental execution. In reality, the most time-consuming part is rarely running experiments, but the continuous verification of whether the drug is truly effective and sufficiently safe. Before a new drug moves from the laboratory to the market, it typically goes through multiple stages, each with distinct research objectives. Any problem identified in a single link may require supplementary studies or even a full restart of relevant procedures. ‌Clinical trials are conducted in sequential phases‌ After a drug enters human trials, it usually needs to go through Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials. Phase I focuses on safety, evaluating human tolerance to the drug and observing its absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) in the human body. Phase II initiates efficacy verification, explores appropriate dosing regimens, and continues to accumulate ...

【EXPERT Q&A】The buyer only left the product name and country. What else should be asked in the first round?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: It is quite common for overseas buyers to leave very limited information in their first inquiry. Some buyers only fill in the product name and their country, without specifying specifications, quantities or detailed procurement needs. At this point, many suppliers’ first reaction is to quote directly. But in fact, when the demand information is incomplete, the quotation can only be a reference price, and repeated confirmations will be needed later. This not only increases communication costs, but may also affect the buyer’s procurement experience. Instead of rushing to quote, the top priority of the first round of communication is to figure out the buyer’s real needs, so as to prepare for providing more accurate product solutions and quotations later. ‌Confirm product specifications or models‌ The same product often comes in different models, specifications, concentrations, sizes or packaging methods. Especially for products like medical devices and API (Active ...

Big news! Zhejiang pharmaceutical company targets 500 million yuan lipid-lowering blockbuster drug

Recently, the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) announced that the application for generic marketing of probucol tablets by Zhejiang Jiangbei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has been officially accepted. This is one of the few new applications for this product since 2021. Probucol is a lipid-lowering drug with antioxidant properties, originally developed by Merck & Co. in the United States and approved by the FDA in 1977. Its most significant characteristic lies not in its lipid-lowering power, but in its unique multiple mechanisms of action: it can both lower cholesterol and slow the progression of atherosclerosis through antioxidant pathways, giving it an irreplaceable clinical role in niche indications such as familial hypercholesterolemia and xanthomas. According to data from Yaozhi, the domestic market size of probucol tablets has never been less than 400 million yuan since 2022, and reached 480 million yuan in 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 5%.
