otc green label is issued by which department?
The OTC Green Label is issued by the State Drug Administration ("SDA"). The State Drug Administration is the Chinese government's department responsible for overseeing and managing the safety of medicines and medical devices, and its duties include drug registration, drug supervision, drug management, etc. OTC Green Label refers to over-the-counter medicines (i.e., medicines that can be purchased directly through drugstores or supermarkets, etc.) sold on the domestic market of our country, which need to obtain the approval and labeling of the State Drug Administration in order to be legally marketed and sold. Therefore, the right to issue the OTC Green Label belongs to the State Drug Administration.
