Abstract：The National Essential Medicines List,as the core instrument for the implementation of the national essential medicines system,has garnered significant attention from all sectors of society.In this list,the specifications of traditional Chinese patent medicines,due to their unique characteristics,often introduce a degree of uncertainty in clinical medication.This article systematically organized the specifications of traditional Chinese patent medicines and delved into issues such as the proportional conversion of these specifications.The research revealed that there is still a widespread phenomenon of non-standard specification descriptions for traditional Chinese patent medicines on the market,which severely hampers the implementation of proportional specification conversion.In light of this,the article proposed to further deepen and implement the Technical Guidelines for the Description of Specifications of Traditional Chinese Patent Medicines,with particular emphasis on standardizing the specification descriptions of those included in the National Essential Medicines List.This initiative will enhance the efficiency of clinical medication by physicians and facilitate the smooth operation of drug regulation.
