Chapter 99: New Drug Prices Lead to Hot Discussions

Kunming, Sanqing Headquarters.

Sanqing officially held a new drug conference and announced the clinical phase III data report of a new drug with special effects on Alzheimer's disease.

He also said that the approval of the new drug will be approved soon, and it will be officially launched for sale in a month.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately spread all over the Internet.

Many patients and family members who did not register for the clinical trials burst into tears and looked forward to it.

Now everyone has no objection to the curative effect, so they are talking about it, and the main focus is on the price.

"This drug is the only AD special drug in the world, right? We also have a technological monopoly. I wonder how much Sanqing will sell it for?"

"Although everyone is equal in the face of dementia, we ordinary people are not as good as those rich and powerful, and we don't know if we can afford it."

"Even if a bottle of this life-saving medicine sells for 10,000 yuan, there are still people rushing to buy it."

"Seeing a doctor in China is getting more and more expensive now, and people don't dare to get sick casually. In order to make more money, unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies sell a box of cold medicine for dozens of dollars, for fear that our medicines will be too cheap."

"Maybe they think that the medicine we take is worth the price, so I'm going to be heck."

"The pharmacy also sells all kinds of Chinese patent medicines. If you don't pay attention, one or two hundred will disappear, and you won't be able to eat them. I have been slaughtered several times."

"Domestic pharmaceutical companies are like this, and foreign pharmaceutical companies are even more extreme. Many niche medicines dare to sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars per injection, and they can't wait to peel the patient's cramps and skin them, and search them clean."

"However, Sanqing has always been conscientious in terms of price. I have confidence in Mr. Wei."

"That's right, before the anti-cancer drugs were new drugs, they were included in the medical insurance as soon as they were launched, and the price was broken."

"Mr. Wei will definitely not set a high price, ordinary people will certainly be able to afford it."

"Let's wait and see, this medicine will probably be included in the medical insurance, and the price will not be too expensive."

#三清AD特别药价价# immediately hit the headlines of the entire network.

Many hospitals and pharmaceutical companies, and even experts in related fields, have made speculations.

These speculations are based on the prices of some new AD drugs that have been marketed, and the prices of these drugs are not cheap.

Needless to say, Yingguo Bojian’s AD specific medicine costs 30,000 U.S. dollars per year, and ordinary people in Yingguo can’t afford it, let alone import it into China. Most people in the country can’t afford the hundreds of thousands of yuan. of.

As for domestic products, the trehalose saccharified capsules launched by Green Sunshine were relatively expensive before entering the medical insurance.

Each box costs 900 yuan. Calculated on the basis of 4 boxes per month for a course of treatment, the cost of medication for patients reaches 3,600 yuan per month, and more than 40,000 yuan per year, which is a huge burden for most families.

Since entering the medical insurance, the price has dropped to 300 yuan per box, and the monthly fee has dropped to 1,200 yuan, which is more than 10,000 yuan a year. Although it is still expensive, for the masses, the burden has been greatly reduced.

However, this is based on the fact that the drug is effective. If the effect is not obvious, then the price will be sky-high.

Because if it cannot be completely cured, this drug is treated as a long-term drug for chronic diseases, and patients must continue to take it.

And even if you take it all the time, if the patient cannot restore normal self-care ability, the burden on the patient's family will still be heavy. In addition, the annual drug expenses will make it even worse for families who are not rich.

Generally speaking, long-term medication for chronic diseases must be cheap to allow patients to use it for a long time. Take trehalose capsules as an example, the average daily cost for patients is about 40 yuan.

Is the price high or low?

Take the diabetes treatment drug SGLT2 inhibitor, which is also an innovative drug for chronic diseases, as an example. After medical insurance negotiations, the net price of aitogliflozin is 3.46 yuan per tablet, and the average daily cost of patients is less than 4 yuan.

In this comparison, Green Sunshine's AD specific medicine is obviously more expensive.

Therefore, people are more and more concerned about the price of Sanqing's AD specific medicine.

Ning City, People's Hospital.

48-year-old Zhao Lizheng helped his trembling old father back to the ward with a bag of medicine in his hand.

He is a security guard with a monthly salary of only 3,500 yuan, and his father, who is in his 70s, is a patient with Alzheimer's disease and has been ill for three years.

During this time, my father became seriously ill, so he was admitted to the hospital for examination and treatment.

He and his wife took turns to take care of the old father every day. In the eyes of other patients in the ward, he was a dutiful son, lucky to have found a sensible and hardworking wife who did not dislike the old father and was willing to take care of him together. Huaxia perfect family.

Helped the father who had finished the examination to bed, and watched him fall asleep with his eyes closed.

Zhao Li took out the passbook from his pocket, looked at the numbers on it, frowned, shook his head and sighed.

A patient's family member walked into the ward, saw his frowning face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Li leaned over, pulled the other party out the door, walked to the window, and sighed: "This is the bottom of the bottom if you don't save money. The old man's illness is expensive, but it doesn't work. You can eat it all the time. It’s not good, my family can’t stand it anymore, the child is about to take the college entrance examination, and the daughter-in-law takes care of the father and the two at home, and can’t go out to work, relying on my little income, how can this work, ah.”

The family member of the patient also shook his head and sighed, his eye sockets were moist. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said pleasantly: "I almost forgot something. My son just told me a good news. Recently, there is a special drug for Alzheimer's disease that is going to be launched. He told me to wait with peace of mind, saying that my wife would be fine after eating."

"It is said that this is the first medicine in the world that can treat this disease. It is very effective. It has cured many patients during the clinical trial stage. This medicine will definitely cure your father."

When Zhao Li heard it, his face was wrinkled and his smile turned into a flower, and he said pleasantly, "Is it true? Then this medicine is not cheap."

The family member glanced at him, scratched his head, and whispered: "I guess so, you have to get ready."

Zhao Li's body trembled, he leaned against the wall to gather himself, gritted his teeth and said, "As long as it is effective, it can really be cured, even if it's a waste of money, I still have to give Dad this medicine, and I can't drag it on like this."

After finishing speaking, he returned to the ward excitedly, looked at the old father's old face, and was in a daze, countless pictures flashed in his mind.

After a while, he lowered his head, looked at the pitifully small numbers on the passbook, and secretly made up his mind that even if he lost his family and property, or even asked relatives to borrow money, he would cure his old father of this disease, and when his father recovered, the child would go After going to college, he and his wife both worked double jobs to earn more money to pay off debts.

The same scene happened all over China.

More and more family members of Alzheimer's patients know about this.

They were extremely excited and paid close attention to this matter all the time. After waking up every day, they either read the news on the Internet or called the hospital to ask when the drug would be launched.

Time, just like this day by day.

Every patient is going through this kind of torment.

As the time to market approaches, the controversy over the price on the Internet has become more and more intense.

"The price will come out soon, everyone guess whether it is expensive or low?"

"I'm so excited. Our Huaxia pharmaceutical company has finally flourished. Such a new drug with breakthrough effects has brought huge benefits to our country. I think it is understandable even if it is sold at a higher price."

"This new drug costs several thousand yuan for a bottle."

"Refer to similar drugs on the market and you will know that it is more expensive than these drugs, but it must not be much more expensive."

"According to the previous anticancer drug speculation, I predict that the price should be around tens of thousands of dollars per year."

"Although the price is not cheap, the effect is good. Compared with similar drugs on the market, it is considered conscience."

"That's right, my grandma is taking trehalose saccharification capsules, and the effect is not very obvious, so it costs 10,000 yuan a year. When Sanqing's medicine is on the market, I will definitely give her this, even if it is twice as expensive, it is worth it. "

"Although tens of thousands of yuan a year to buy medicine is a burden for many people, but compared with the misfortune and pain that Alzheimer's brings to the family, this cost is nothing at all."

Generally speaking, patients and netizens are quite tolerant of the price. As long as it is not too expensive, they all express their understanding and accept it. After all, Sanqing’s medicine is really effective, not some so-called placebo. You can't kill people, and you can't eat people well. You can only wait for a miracle to happen.

Finally, the day came.

Sanqing Pharmaceutical announced the official launch of a new drug with special effects for AD.

At the same time, the price of this new drug was officially announced.
