What does Class B and Class C medications mean?

Class B generally refers to drugs available for clinical selection, while Class C usually refers to non-essential medications.

According to relevant regulations, clinical drugs are categorized into three classes: Class A, Class B, and Class C. Class A drugs are essential for clinical treatment, relatively inexpensive, and fully covered by medical insurance. Class B drugs are optional in clinical practice, more expensive than Class A drugs, and partially reimbursed by medical insurance, with patients responsible for a certain percentage of the cost.

Class C drugs are typically the most expensive among the three categories and are considered non-essential, meaning patients may freely choose them, but they are generally not covered by medical insurance reimbursement. When selecting medications, individuals should make decisions based on their personal circumstances and under a doctor's guidance, avoiding self-adjustment of dosages.

In addition, during medication use, patients should follow dietary restrictions and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods.
