Features: Research and development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and health products are currently hot topics both domestically and globally. In China, the implementation of the new drug patent law and the country's impending re-entry into the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) have brought unprecedented challenges and opportunities for the development of the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, researching and developing TCM and its health products, leveraging China's strengths, reviving traditional Chinese medicine, and benefiting one billion people, will become the mainstream of China's pharmaceutical development in the next one to two decades. This book comprehensively discusses the research of new TCM drugs, the development of health products, and patent protection from three aspects, divided into twelve chapters. It covers basic research, clinical research, new drug evaluation, formulation reform, the development of health products, food, cosmetics, and household items, as well as the application and protection of patents. It is currently the first rich and comprehensive technical guidebook in China for the research and development of TCM and its health products, making it an essential reference for professionals engaged in the research and development of new TCM drugs and health products.
