CR Hubei Pharmaceutical Co said over the weekend that a daily supply of three million tablets of ibuprofen will be released in Wuhan, capital of Central China’s Hubei province, over the course of a week, of which, 80% will be directed to medical institutions, while 20% will be distributed to retail pharmacies. 

Yichang Humanwell Pharmaceutical Co, a pharmaceutical firm in Yichang, Hubei Province, said it will double its existing production capacity, producing 3,800 tablets per minute. 

East China’s Zhejiang Province said in a meeting on Sunday that it would focus on strengthening production, storage and supply of anti-epidemic material such as anti-virus, heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese patented medicines, and assist relevant enterprises to work at full capacity and increase production. The daily output of ibuprofen has already climbed to 40,000 boxes, and the production capacity of related key drugs is expected to further increase by the end of the month.
