According to available information, levamlodipine besylate tablets are a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker indicated for the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris. Data from MeneNet show that in 2023, sales of levamlodipine besylate tablets across China’s three major distribution channels—urban public hospitals, county-level public hospitals, and township health centers—totaled approximately RMB 1.99 billion, while in 2024 sales declined to about RMB 1.35 billion, underscoring its significant clinical value. Magnesium sulfate injection is used as an anticonvulsant in the management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy to lower blood pressure and treat gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, and eclampsia. MeneNet data indicate that in 2023, sales of magnesium sulfate injection across these same three channels amounted to roughly RMB 290 million, falling to about RMB 250 million in 2024.
The newly approved levamlodipine besylate tablets represent another blockbuster product developed by the Group in recent years in the cardiovascular therapeutic area. Together with existing products such as valsartan–amlodipine tablets (I), bisoprolol–amlodipine tablets, felodipine extended-release tablets, arginine perindopril tablets, urapidil extended-release capsules, benidipine hydrochloride tablets, and dronedarone hydrochloride tablets, this product helps to build a comprehensive portfolio of cardiovascular chronic-disease medications covering indications including hypertension, angina pectoris, and arrhythmias. This portfolio spans multiple tiers—ranging from monotherapy to combination therapy and from acute-phase management to long-term disease control—thereby providing clinicians with a broader range of therapeutic options and more diversified treatment strategies. It also provides strong support for further strengthening the Group’s market presence and development in the cardiovascular therapeutics segment.
Meanwhile, the newly approved magnesium sulfate injection (5 mL: 2.5 mg) expands the product portfolio, complementing the three previously approved formulations—magnesium sulfate injection (20 mL: 10 g, 10 mL: 5 g, and 2 mL: 1 g)—to create a more comprehensive line of dosage forms and offer the market a broader range of therapeutic options.
