You have to have funds, you have to have someone design a factory for you, you have to have construction funds, you have to apply for a drug production license, you have to register a company as a legal person, you have to hire people from the factory, you have to hire people from the company, you have to set up a sales department, you have to have a good sales network and manpower, such as being familiar with hospital sales and pharmacy representatives. Of course, the recruitment of managers is very important.
Just opening a factory will cost at least several million to tens of millions of RMB, at least.
In addition, for Bailian 12 14, you copied my answer without my consent, which is really ......
What I must correct is that pharmaceutical companies do not have to produce patented drugs, but also generic drugs or some generic drugs. Obtaining these production rights requires the approval of the Food and Drug Administration, but generic drugs are easier to get approval. Patented drugs (taking western medicine as an example) need a lot of financial and human resources to do research, and they may not be successful. It takes at least ten years from development to listing. Maybe some Chinese patent medicines are relatively simple. I'm not familiar with Chinese patent medicine, so I won't say much.
Regarding sales, I also want to say that if you produce prescription drugs, your sales network is mainly hospitals rather than pharmacies. If you produce OTC, your sales network is only pharmacies, and you need to invest in advertising and so on. Because prescription drugs are not allowed to advertise.
It takes courage, but it also takes brains. Analyze your own resources and make the best use of them. Finally, I wish you success!
