History

In 1936, founder Lin Chin-Chih, driven by a passion for helping people through medicine, rode his bicycle door to door delivering medicine packets. He was among the first to bring pharmaceutical technology from the United States, founding “Chung Mei Pharmaceutical Factory” and opening a new chapter in Western medicine production. He often said, “Making medicine is a matter of ethics” — every product had to be one he and his family trusted before it reached the public.

Chung Mei excels at using natural ingredients to develop diverse products — including the once well-known roundworm remedy “Haishan Tablets,” the contraceptive “Zanting Tablets,” and “Biantongle,” the top-selling laxative under National Health Insurance — all made by extracting active ingredients from natural sources to meet consumers' needs.

Now approaching its centennial, Chung Mei Pharmaceutical Group is developing new anti-cancer plant-based drugs and has launched the “Modern Health Package,” a complete self-care solution spanning prevention, treatment, and wellness. It is also expanding overseas, aiming to become an international pharmaceutical and health brand that helps everyone better care for themselves and others.
