Genesis Pharma's Radix Isatidis OKed in China

20 July 2008

China's Genesis Pharmaceuticals Enterprises that the State Food and Drug Administration granted approval for the firm to start producing and distributing Radix Isatidis Dispersible Tablets.

Radix Isatidis is a herbal-based traditional Chinese medicine used to cure viral influenza. It is very popular in China because people there believe it has fewer side affects than western medicines. Most Radix Isatidis products are in powder form,and have to be dissolved in hot water. Genesis will be the only company in China to manufacture its product in dispersible tablet form. Radix Isatidis Dispersible Tablets will be more convenient to take, easier to absorb and are more stable than products in powder form, the firm claims.

The company will start distributing its tablets within three months, and will make this medicine widely available to customers throughout China.
