Q: How to distinguish between Chinese and Western medicine?

A:

Informed consumers should take note of the registration number stated on the product packaging. The registration number for Chinese medicine will feature HKP-XXXXX, HKC-XXXXX or HKNT-XXXXX. Western medicine uses registration number HK-XXXXX. Do not identify medicine based on the image of the founder, cover design and taste of the medicine. ＊The registration number for each product is different, denoted by XXXXX.
