HAIKOU, China, Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- China Pharma Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: CPHI) ("China Pharma", the "Company" or "We"), an NYSE American-listed corporation with a fully-integrated specialty pharmaceuticals subsidiary based in China, today announced that its drugs were listed in The Catalogue of Medicines for People Infected with COVID-19 (First Edition) (hereinafter referred to as the Catalogue) published by People's Daily on December 12, 2022.  

Recently, China has completely ended its strict quarantine and zero case policies in response to COVID-19 pandemic in the past three years. Out of concern about the spread of the epidemic, people began to hoard many related drugs. The Chinese government has issued the Catalogue to guide people to take drugs accordingly. A series of drugs of our Company are listed in the catalog, and the demand is huge.

• Our modern Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) anti-virus product: Andrographolide has been listed in the Catalogue
• Our cold medicine: Naproxen Sodium and Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride Sustained Release Tablets (brand name, Pusen OK), in which the compound ingredient pseudoephedrine is in line with the cold symptom relief medicine recommended in the Catalog
• It was announced in many places in China in recent days that pharmacies will no longer register or upload customer information on "four types of drugs", which includes anti-fever, cough, antiviral and antibiotic drugs. This will benefit the sales of our main products, roxithromycin and cefaclor
• The market demand for our masks has also increased significantly

Ms. Li Zhilin, CEO of China Pharma said: " With the liberalization of epidemic risk control measures across China, the number of infected people may rise rapidly. The public's need in keeping certain epidemic prevention materials and related drugs has been dramatically increasing. As a professional pharmaceutical manufacturer for nearly 30 years, we will continue to spare no effort to provide high-quality products to protect people's health."
