The National Essential Medicines List, 2026 Edition, will officially take effect on September 1, containing 794 medicines with 116 new additions. Among the new lipid-regulating Chinese patent medicines are Hedan Tablets and Capsules, a product of Wohua Pharmaceutical. Wohua Pharmaceutical said Hedan Tablets and Capsules offer dual benefits in lipid regulation and weight reduction, meeting the clinical needs of overweight patients with dyslipidemia. Essential medicine status means assured hospital access and guaranteed usage volume. The National Health Commission has required public medical institutions at all levels to update their medicine lists within two months after implementation, giving priority to stocking essential medicines. Wohua Pharmaceutical said Hedan Tablets and Capsules are its second exclusive pillar product to enter the essential medicines list, after Xinkeshu Tablets, creating a dual essential medicine synergy for the company. It plans to promote Hedan's inclusion in weight-related guidelines through real-world studies from 2026 to 2028.
