According to available information, etomidate is an anesthetic used for induction of general anesthesia and also for short-duration surgical anesthesia and as an adjunct to anesthesia. In September 2023, the National Medical Products Administration issued an announcement adding etomidate—except for etomidate-containing pharmaceutical preparations approved for marketing in China—to the Catalogue of Psychotropic Substances of the Second Category, effective October 1, 2023.
In recent years, Shijiazhuang Sihua Pharmaceutical Group has focused on the needs of the high-end, complex formulation industry chain, actively promoting integrated “API–formulation” development, intensifying the R&D of new products, and continuously enhancing the diversification and reliability of supply across the industry and supply chains, thereby providing robust support for expanding sustainable growth opportunities. Currently, the group boasts 57 bulk and specialty API varieties, with an increasingly diversified product portfolio that is powerfully accelerating the transition to integrated “API–formulation” development.
