【概要描述】 Since December last year, the northern regions have experienced prolonged cold and dry weather, leading to a sharp surge in influenza patients seeking medical care at hospitals and causing an acute shortage of antiviral medications across the board. “As our company’s portfolio includes both traditional Chinese and Western medicines that are mainstream treatments for influenza—such as Arbidol capsules, azithromycin dispersible tablets, Yinhuang capsules, Qingre Jiedu oral liquid, and various cephalosporin products—our two oral dosage-form workshops, including the tablet production line, capsule production line, and the traditional Chinese medicine extraction and oral liquid production line, are currently operating around the clock in multiple shifts to do everything possible to ramp up production of antiviral drugs,” said the company’s production director during a visit by reporters from Shijiazhuang Daily to inspect the manufacturing process of these antiviral medications.

Since December last year, the northern regions have experienced prolonged cold and dry weather, leading to a sharp surge in influenza patients seeking medical care at hospitals and causing an acute shortage of antiviral medications across the board. “As our company’s portfolio includes both traditional Chinese and Western medicines that are mainstream treatments for influenza—such as Arbidol capsules, azithromycin dispersible tablets, Yinhuang capsules, Qingre Jiedu oral liquid, and various cephalosporin products—our two oral dosage-form manufacturing facilities, including the tablet line, capsule line, and the traditional Chinese medicine extraction and oral liquid production lines, are currently operating around the clock in multiple shifts to do everything possible to ramp up production of antiviral drugs,” said the company’s production director to a reporter from Shijiazhuang Daily who had visited the facility to learn about the status of antiviral drug production.

“In the newly issued National Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Influenza (2018 Edition), several of our traditional Chinese medicine products—including Jinlianhua Oral Liquid, Qingre Jiedu Oral Liquid, and Yinhuang Capsules—have been included in the treatment protocol. As the influenza epidemic continues to surge, sales of these products have repeatedly reached critical levels, prompting us to urgently secure raw materials, ramp up production, and operate at full capacity to do our utmost to meet market demand,” said a company official. “To ensure the efficacy of anti-influenza TCM, the quality of medicinal materials is paramount. We will never compromise on quality for the sake of market pressure. For instance, our Yinhuang Capsules not only comply with national quality standards but also undergo additional quality control tests for baicalin—the active ingredient in Scutellaria baicalensis—and chlorogenic acid—the active ingredient in Lonicera japonica—thereby guaranteeing the antiviral efficacy of this TCM formulation. This is precisely how we put into practice our commitment to ‘prioritizing quality to benefit the people and upholding integrity as our foundation,’” the official added, earning nods of approval from the visiting newspaper reporters.
“How were the production and sales of Arbidol capsules, which were once hailed as the ‘Tamiflu of their day’?” the reporter recalled. Back in 2009, during the height of the H1N1 influenza pandemic, Arbidol capsules earned widespread recognition from both medical professionals and the public for their outstanding therapeutic efficacy. “As a leading antiviral drug against influenza worldwide today, Arbidol capsules boast broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, proving effective against the major influenza strains circulating during this outbreak—namely type B, H1N1, and H3N2—and delivering rapid onset of action that swiftly curtails viral transmission. With excellent tolerability and suitability for all population groups, they have once again become a mainstay in the fight against influenza,” said a company official. “Our Arbidol capsules not only treat influenza but also offer robust preventive benefits, making them a go-to standby medication carried by many physicians at all times,” added an oral-formulation sales representative who had just returned from Shenyang to expedite deliveries.
