Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd

Chinese pharma maker, drug distributor, and medical aesthetics player

What Huadong Medicine does

Huadong Medicine makes prescription drugs in China and also runs a large business distributing medicines wholesale and through retail pharmacies. Its own medicines cover areas like organ-transplant immunosuppressants, diabetes and other endocrine conditions, cancer, heart disease, digestive disorders, antibiotics, and traditional Chinese medicine. Beyond drugs, it sells medical aesthetics products and devices (the injectables-and-skin-treatment market) and runs an industrial microbiology business.

How Huadong Medicine makes money

Revenue comes from manufacturing and selling its own branded and generic drugs at higher margins, plus high-volume, lower-margin wholesale and retail distribution of third-party pharmaceuticals across China. Medical aesthetics products and devices, industrial microbiology, and services such as formulation filling, logistics and warehousing add further income streams.
