In the golden autumn season, Shijiazhuang Fourth Pharmaceutical has reaped abundant rewards from its scientific research and innovation efforts. Recently, two product varieties—hexahydrococoine injection (5 ml: 0.1 g) and ipratropium bromide solution for inhalation (2 ml: 0.5 mg and 2 ml: 0.25 mg)—each available in three different specifications, received drug registration certificates from the National Medical Products Administration on the same day. These products are also deemed to have passed the evaluation of bioequivalence and therapeutic equivalence for generic drugs. Notably, the hexahydrococoine injection (5 ml: 0.1 g) is the first product from a Chinese pharmaceutical company to receive such approval.
It is reported that Pentoxifylline Injection is primarily used for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease and inner ear circulatory disorders, while Ipratropium Bromide Solution for Inhalation is mainly used for the relief of bronchospasm caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma).
