China has approved three traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) products for sale to help treat Covid-19, the government’s National Medical Products Administration announced on Wednesday.
The agency used a special approval procedure to green-light the three products, which “provide more options for Covid-19 treatment,” it said in a statement.
The herbal products come in granular form and trace their origins to “ancient Chinese prescriptions,” said the statement. They were developed from TCM remedies that had been used early in the pandemic, and that were “screenec by many academics and experts on the front line.”
