Additionally, products like Yiqi Tongmai Capsules from Jining Vascular Disease Hospital and Pingxiao Baoshi Pills from Tai'an Second Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were found to be of substandard quality.Operating under the oversight of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) framework, relevant municipal food and drug administrations have implemented immediate control measures. These include sealing, seizing, and suspending the sale of the non-compliant products. Further actions involve thorough investigations into the implicated medical institutions and the enforcement of relevant laws and regulations. The institutions are mandated to investigate root causes, develop and execute rectification plans, and eliminate all identified risks, while supervisory bodies will maintain strengthened daily oversight.
