China Naming Network - Eight-character Q&A - Does domestic medicine have a trade name?

Does domestic medicine have a trade name?

Domestic drugs do not have trade names, because the standard for naming trade names is that of original drugs, but our country does not have them, only generic drugs.

So domestically produced drugs do not have trade names, at most they only have registered trademarks.

It is typical of the pharmaceutical world with Chinese characteristics to register a trademark for each or even each specification of medicine.

Doctors "like" to write "trade name" when prescribing medicines because there are rebates for medicines. If they don't write "trade name", who knows which medicine is being prescribed? Who will cash it out?
