Drug retrospection: after Mo Bu's "rebuilding light tube"

According to data on the official website of the State Food and drug administration, as of November 1, 2018, 991 certificates of qualification for Internet drug trading services have been issued At the end of October 2018, the draft amendment to the drug management law was submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for deliberation The draft clearly requires that "a strict traceability system should be established and implemented to ensure the authenticity, accuracy, integrity and traceability of the whole process data" With the rise of online drug purchase, drug traceability system is coming out Drug traceability system sounds like a kind of high technology, but generally speaking, it is to implement real name system for drugs After consumers buy drugs, they can only scan the QR code and query the information about the production and sales of drugs on the mobile client If the real name system is implemented for drugs, once the problem drugs are found, it is easy to find the "real killer" In China, traceability system has been established for important agricultural products such as meat and vegetables, and some experience has been obtained In this context, it is self-evident that it is of positive significance to comprehensively promote the construction of drug traceability system Theoretically, the establishment of drug traceability platform is convenient for drug companies and pharmacies to strengthen self-discipline, shape their own brand, and cultivate a fixed consumer group; at the same time, consumers also reduce the time and cost of purchasing drugs However, if there is a lack of supervision on the product traceability platform built by the pharmaceutical enterprises themselves, the traceability code of the brand may be embezzled and sold wantonly It is difficult to determine whether the drugs purchased by consumers come from the original pharmaceutical enterprises If the supervision is not in place, the drug traceability system may become the "talisman" of the problematic drugs In the past, there have been some problems in the construction of traceability system for agricultural products such as meat and vegetables, due to the emphasis on construction and supervision Taking the food traceability platform as an example, some media reported that there are different standards of food traceability system in different places, and the food traceability platform built by enterprises lacks supervision, which leads to the chaos of using the traceability source code to confuse the fish and the eyes and make the inferior better Some food products are labeled with traceability codes; the traceability codes of some origin brands have become profit-making tools for enterprises; the traceability information consumers can find is also uneven This obviously deviates from the original intention of building food traceability system and maintaining food safety The establishment of drug traceability system can not follow the food traceability "focusing on construction, ignoring supervision" At present, the construction of drug traceability system in China is still in its infancy Relevant departments should first select some relatively mature pharmaceutical enterprises for pilot, and then gradually promote to more pharmaceutical enterprises At the same time, it is necessary to establish a special drug traceability system management department for coordination and supervision, and the drug enterprises should not be allowed to "talk to themselves" We should implement "zero tolerance" to the illegal behaviors in drug tracing, the first offender should be severely punished, and the second offender should be ordered to withdraw from the drug market permanently.
