Chapter 134 Banned? Sales are still booming

Just when doctors in Eagle Country were communicating in full swing in the online community.

The FDA suddenly issued an announcement.

Opioid and other pain medication guidelines for abuse prevention

"In order to rationalize the use of opioid analgesics, out of concerns about the withdrawal of patients with increasing opioid dependence, and concerns about the reduction of pain relief in patients already taking opioids."

"The FDA will give the most rigorous and prudent consideration to marketing applications for this type of drug, and will address abuse as the highest priority of its work."

"Revocation of fast-track approval qualifications for all analgesic drugs, while extending the clinical stage, pharmaceutical companies need to submit complete 3-5 years of long-term clinical data to evaluate the benefit-risk ratio of drugs in the real world, and reduce addictive drugs as much as possible IPO possible."

"At the same time, this type of drug needs to increase the diversity of patients in clinical trials. FDA cannot accept clinical data from a single country, such as relying solely on clinical data from China."

"Any negative clinical data and ethical issues will automatically trigger a decision to stop clinical trials, and a cooling-off period of more than 2 years will be imposed."

"If the drug company fails to prove its non-addictiveness and submit sufficient clinical data, the FDA will reject its marketing application and strictly prohibit any promotion and use of the drug in Eagle Country to avoid any possible adverse consequences. "

"We will temporarily suspend foreign pharmaceutical companies' clinical research applications for opioids and other analgesic drugs, and prohibit the use of related authorized patented drugs in the Eagle Country market."

"This guidance program is also applicable to foreign pharmaceutical companies regulated by the FDA and related national markets."

This announcement immediately caused a shock in the medical circle.

All experts and scholars were in an uproar.

The FDA’s announcement simply put the research and development of painkillers into the coffin, and nailed the coffin firmly with its own hands.

It not only puts forward extremely strict requirements on the clinical data of painkillers, but also raises the threshold for listing to an infinitely high level.

It also requires pharmaceutical companies to self-certify that they are non-addictive before they can apply for clinical trials.

That's okay, after all, cracking down on the abuse of painkillers is considered a basic national policy.

Strengthening the supervision of pharmaceutical companies is also the job of the FDA.

However, the last two sentences completely exposed the FDA's true intentions.

Directly ban the sale of painkillers produced by foreign pharmaceutical companies.

It is not only banned from sale in Eagle Country, but also from overseas markets regulated by the FDA.

It's not just demanding.

Anyone with a discerning eye could understand the purpose of the announcement.

When the clinical papers on Sanqing painkillers were first published, such an announcement was made.

Its meaning is very obvious.

If you really want to strengthen supervision, there is no need to emphasize foreign pharmaceutical companies.

Even for Eagle Country, this is a very unfair behavior.

"Is Sanqing offending the FDA?"

"Who knows, anyway, I can see that the FDA is in trouble because of the Sanqing before retaliation."

"Then we won't need Sanqing's new painkiller."

"What a pity, I thought Sanqing would submit a clinical application to the FDA soon? I have some patients who are suffering from neuropathic pain and they need strong non-addictive painkillers."

"FDA is making trouble out of no reason. Why can Eagle State pharmaceutical companies sell painkillers, while foreign pharmaceutical companies ban the sale for no reason."

"It seems that we can only cooperate with Huaxia's hospitals, and try to send patients to Huaxia for treatment."

"Shit, do you know why the FDA is crazy? It's incomprehensible."

"Shh, I got a message from some friends in Huaxia. Maybe it can explain the reason why the FDA is going crazy."

"Say it, say it!"

"It is said that Huaxia used this painkiller to detoxify. This drug has helped many addicts resist the withdrawal reaction, saving them from great pain. After using it for a period of time, the withdrawal effect is remarkable."

"My God, God will send a thunderbolt to kill the bureaucrats of the FDA. Such a good drug is not allowed to be bought by the people."

"This is actually very reasonable. It is well known that alternatives to addictive drugs for withdrawal treatment are likely to be addictive themselves. It may be that the time is too short, and we have not yet discovered the side effects of this painkiller."

"Did you also accept the sponsorship of any pharmaceutical company? You opened your eyes and told nonsense. This is obviously a painkiller that can detoxify, not an addictive drug."

"Sanqing has not published a paper so far, and we should be skeptical when we discuss the principles in detail."

"Such a quarrel is meaningless, and I will follow this painkiller as a long-term research project."

Just when the authoritative experts of Eagle Country were arguing about this ban announcement.

Sanqing's new painkiller has been announced in China and is officially on the market.

The specification is 30mg a piece, 10 pieces in a box, and the price is 158.

This price is not cheap, it is about the same price as imported painkillers, and much more expensive than domestic painkillers that cost a few dollars a pill.

However, the analgesic effect is different, and it is an original research drug, so it cannot be sold at a too low price.

Wei Kang also does not want to do charity, after all research and development still needs money.

Besides, this is for patients with severe pain. If it is mild pain, it is enough to buy domestic ibuprofen for a few dollars, and it is a waste to use such a good medicine.

This painkiller is primarily a replacement for those addictive opioids.

Whether it is pain relief after surgery or other pain relief, the effect is very good.

There is a $100 billion global market for painkillers, 30% of which are prescription opioid painkillers.

Of course, this does not include those who are abused.

Many people are afraid of addiction, and they are obviously in pain, but they refuse to use it. Now with this new painkiller, this problem can be solved.

On the first day when the painkiller came into the market, many patients went to the hospital to register and prescribe the medicine.

An old man went to the pain clinic and said directly to the doctor, "Prescribe me that Sanqing painkiller. I have been suffering from arthritis pain for several years. I can't get out of the pain every day, and I can't sleep well."

The doctor looked at the old man and taught earnestly: "Master, the pain cannot be solved by taking painkillers alone. You also need to see a doctor and prescribe the right medicine to solve the problem."

"Otherwise, the pain will be relieved for a short time without a complete cure, and the pain will continue in the future. It's not a cure for the symptoms."

The old man sighed and said, "I have rheumatoid arthritis. The doctor prescribed a bunch of medicines, but they didn't work, and the pain continued. There was nothing I could do."

"Anyway, it's just pain, and it's not life-threatening. I can bear it. I usually take some ibuprofen, and it doesn't affect much. Even taking ibuprofen on cloudy and rainy days won't work, so I asked you to prescribe Sanqing." Painkillers."

The doctor checked the old man's case and began to prescribe him medicine.

"Master, this medicine is still a bit expensive, 158 a box, although the slow-release effect is good, one tablet can last for a day, but it can only be taken for 10 days, and it has just been launched and has not yet entered the medical insurance, so you need to pay for it yourself, you have to think about it carefully. "

The uncle said nonchalantly: "No problem, I have enough money, you can open 10 boxes for me first."

The doctor was taken aback: "Master, this prescription drug is not prescribed like this. I will prescribe you a month's supply at most."

"The main reason is that you haven't taken this medicine before. I don't know if you can adapt to it. Although there are few adverse reactions, I can't guarantee it. So I have to take a box and see the effect before continuing."

The uncle seemed a little unhappy: "Why, I don't prescribe medicine when I have money. Isn't this medicine said to be non-addictive? What are you afraid of? I finally hoped for such a painkiller with good effects and no harm. You won't let me eat? Are you responsible for the pain?"

The doctor talked about it, and finally prescribed three boxes a month, and sent away the mumbling uncle.

The next patient came in. It turned out to be a young girl in her early twenties, fashionable and youthful.

The doctor was very surprised: "You don't look like you have some chronic disease?"

This is a pain department, which mainly diagnoses and treats various chronic pains. Chronic pain over three months is included in the scope of diagnosis and treatment of the pain department, such as headache, neuralgia, low back pain, cervical spondylosis, arthritis, etc.

The girl said with a relaxed face: "It's okay, I just have dysmenorrhea often, doctor, you can prescribe me some Sanqing painkillers, I heard that the effect is really good, I don't ask much, just open a box, I will be relieved every time I have dysmenorrhea." Just eat it for a few days."

The doctor couldn’t laugh or cry: “There are many reasons for dysmenorrhea. If it’s serious, you should see a gynecologist and strive for a speedy and complete recovery. Painkillers alone won’t help. In general, you can buy some ibuprofen at the pharmacy for dysmenorrhea. "

The girl shook her head: "It doesn't work after taking ibuprofen, doctor, you don't know how much pain I have, oh my god, it hurts more than giving birth, every time I feel pain, I want to bang my head against the wall .I beg you."

"And every time I have pain for several days, I can't go to work, I can't get out of bed at all, I have only been working for a month, and I have already asked for five days off, and this month is coming again, I will ask for another leave The boss has to fire me."

The girl was so anxious that her eyes were full of tears, and she almost cried as she spoke.

The doctor was speechless and helpless, so he had to prescribe a box for the girl.

After that, old people and women kept coming in, all asking for Sanqing's painkillers.

The doctor was numb, and he received more patients in one day than in the previous half month.

Although many people asked for painkillers in the past, there were not as many as today, and they all asked for the same medicine.

Moreover, the patients also asked to open three boxes, five boxes, or even ten boxes, for fear that if there were too few opened, they would not be able to buy them next time after eating.

After all, Sanqing's medicines are very popular, and they are sold out every now and then. Everyone is used to it.

Especially when it is just on the market, it is best to stock up on a batch so as not to run out of stock.

When the output catches up later, I am not afraid that I will not be able to buy them.

These are the experiences of the people who have bought them.

In a day's work, the doctor prescribed two checklists, all of which were prescriptions for Sanqing painkillers.

He was confused, I am a doctor, and I can do other things, can you just prescribe painkillers instead of asking me.

But he also understood how popular the drug was.

Hundreds of millions of people around the world suffer from pain every day due to various diseases or accidents.

Most of the pain can be relieved by taking various medicines, and the rest cannot be relieved without taking medicine.

Especially for the pain caused by the disease, it is difficult for ordinary painkillers to be effective, and only opioids can top it.

However, overdose of opioid painkillers is not only addictive, but also prone to sudden death. Countless tragedies occur in Eagle Country every year.

Therefore, the control of such drugs in China is very strict, which leads to the fact that most patients can only resist the pain on their own, making it even more painful.

Now that I finally have this painkiller, why don't I rush to open a few boxes to relieve the pain.

They didn't have a choice before, but now they have a choice. They just want to say hello to the pain.

After the doctor got off work, he asked other colleagues and found that everyone was the same, patronizing to prescribe painkillers.

We counted it together. Today, the pain department alone has prescribed thousands of boxes of painkillers, consuming all of the hospital's inventory.

This is just their hospital, there are other hospitals in the city.

As for hospitals across the province and across the country?

The sales are really scary.

In one day, a drug sales record was created.

***

Wei Kang was sitting in the office, looking at the sales report on the table, smiling all over his face.

"The sales of painkillers are really good, as I expected."

"And this is just the beginning, with such a high sales volume. When the follow-up production catches up and word-of-mouth has spread, the sales volume will increase, and it will completely occupy the market by then."

"After all, market promotion also takes time. It is impossible to spread it in all hospitals across the country immediately after it is launched. It is first developed from hospitals in major cities to city and county-level hospitals."

The main reason is that Sanqing has already established a reputation with a variety of drugs, and there is no need to invest too much in advertising.

This is the so-called brand effect.

When a patient needs a certain drug, the first thing that comes to mind is whether Sanqing has it. If Sanqing does not have it, they will consider products from other pharmaceutical companies.

They believe in the quality and curative effect of Sanqing from the bottom of their hearts, and even spontaneously promote Sanqing.

To put it bluntly, Sanqing seems to be a symbol of the cure of disease.

This fame can now be used as a placebo.

The psychological effect of patients taking Sanqing medicine is completely different from taking other manufacturers' medicines.

After taking the medicine of Sanqing, they will have an expectation that what they are taking is a panacea and they will get better soon.

After taking medicine from other manufacturers, my heart is calm and calm, and I even worry that I will be poisoned to death before the effect is effective.

The relief phenomenon caused by this strong psychological suggestion is called the placebo effect in medicine.

Compared with other manufacturers' medicines, Sanqing's medicine is equivalent to adding a placebo buff out of thin air.

It can get better even if it doesn't work, let alone the effect of Sanqing's medicine is particularly good.

Therefore, the experience of patients is very good, so the reputation of Sanqing is also rising.

"But this usefulness is beyond my imagination."

He looked at the clinical trial data of the drug rehabilitation center sent by Du Cheng again, and nodded.

"I didn't expect that unintentionally planting willows and willows into shades can actually help addicts get rid of drugs."

"It seems that painkillers can really replace addictive drugs and help them slowly wean themselves off drug addiction, which is really good."

Wei Kang was a little excited. This effect made him very happy, because it could solve a serious social problem.

At the same time he was lost in thought.

"In this case, the reason why the FDA is targeting painkillers has been found."

"Hehe, I'm afraid this is not just the FDA's own idea. There must be other influences behind it."

"It may be the Eagle Nation official, or it may be a related interest group."

"After all, the big cake of addictive drugs is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"If painkillers enter the Eagle Country market, it will not only squeeze the original painkiller market, but also help addicts get rid of drug addiction better, and the market for addictive drugs will be greatly reduced."

"Such a huge source of benefits will be cut off by Sanqing's painkillers, no wonder they have to jump."

Wei Kang couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"Dare to ban the sale of my medicine, I am really impatient."
