The supplementary drug application, filed in July 2025 under case number CYHB2550245, received formal clearance on 19 October 2026 via Notification No. 2026B07058.
Nimodipine Tablets serve as continuation therapy following nimodipine injections to prevent and treat ischemic nerve injury caused by cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The product is also indicated for age-related brain dysfunction, including memory loss, disorientation, attention disorders and mood swings, provided other underlying conditions have been ruled out.
The formulation is listed as a Category A medicine in the 2025 National Drug Catalogue for Basic Medical Insurance, Work-Related Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance, supporting broad reimbursement coverage. According to industry data cited in the announcement, sales of Nimodipine Tablets within China’s public medical institutions reached approximately RMB130 million in 2025.
Management expects the successful generic consistency evaluation to enhance the drug’s market competitiveness. Nevertheless, the company cautions that domestic pharmaceutical policies, centralized procurement dynamics and broader market conditions may influence actual commercial outcomes, warranting investor vigilance regarding related uncertainties.
