A large number of orders flooded into East Africa, allowing mask manufacturers there to make a hefty profit. In addition, some alcohol and pharmaceutical producers also received substantial overseas orders.
Among them, East Africa's antipyretic medications come in many varieties. Apart from some patented medicines authorized for production, East Africa also possesses some medicinal products derived from traditional Chinese medicine and other medical fields.
Regardless of their specific effectiveness, this undoubtedly greatly increased the variety of drugs available in East Africa.
The sources of East Africa's patented medicines are also diverse—some are drugs developed domestically in East Africa, others are authorized for production from other countries, and finally, some are drug patents obtained from the Allies.
