The much-anticipated retail指导 prices for the national essential medicines will be officially implemented this Thursday. Yesterday, major pharmaceutical companies in Dongguan such as Dongguan Guoyao Group all expressed that they have received the notification about price adjustment from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), which will enforce relevant pricing standards on 296 kinds of medicines.
According to industry insiders, compared with the current government-regulated retail guidance prices, the prices of approximately 45% of the drugs have been appropriately reduced, with an average price reduction of around 12%. Meanwhile, about 49% of the drugs will continue to be sold at the current prices.
