People's attention: why fake drugs flow into regular hospitals and pharmacies

Within one week, Ningbo City announced four cases of fake drugs On September 20, it was learned from Ningbo pharmaceutical regulatory department that the investigation of "cases of fake drugs flowing into regular hospitals and pharmacies in Ningbo" was still in progress Drug regulatory officials said that the relevant responsible person will be severely punished in accordance with the law, will not tolerate! In a week, the drug regulatory bureau announced four cases of fake drugs in regular hospitals; the "cinnabar Anshen pill" actually added the "tranquilizing" ingredients that lead to drowsiness As early as July, Ningbo food and Drug Inspection Branch received from the public that after taking "cinnabar Anshen pill", it felt sleepy and suspected that there was a problem with the drug quality To the surprise of law enforcement officials, the drugs reported were distributed from Guangci hospital in Jiangdong District of the city This is a regular hospital Law enforcement officers immediately spot checked the relevant drugs of the reported hospital, and found that the microbial limit of the "cinnabar Anshen pill" sold exceeded the standard, and the diazepam component similar to the western medicine was illegally added It is this added western medicine ingredient that causes the informant to be sleepy Medical experts explain that diazepam, the so-called western medicine ingredient, is commonly known as "diazepam" According to the drug administration law of China, if the ingredients contained in a drug do not conform to the ingredients specified in the national drug standards, it can be determined as a fake drug To the greater surprise of law enforcement officials, the drug packaging label shows that the manufacturer of the fake drug is Jilin Shenhui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd This is also a regular pharmaceutical enterprise According to the outpatient department of Guangci hospital, a total of 68 boxes of "cinnabar Anshen pill" fake drugs were purchased through medical representatives Although Shenhui pharmaceutical company denies the production of fake drugs, the inspection results of Zhejiang Provincial Institute of drug control are impressive    Within one month in August alone, Ningbo Municipal Food and Drug Administration announced four similar fake drug cases, including the fake "cinnabar Anshen pill", which were "Wubei granules" with batch number of 20060302, "Caile" ketoconazole lotion with batch number of 05058618, "cinnabar Anshen pill" with batch number of 20040501 and "Viagra" (commonly known as "Viagra") without any Chinese mark " Most of the fake drugs are made by the legal subjects and sold by the Chinese patent medicine, which can not kill people if they are slow to eat; the external packaging is exquisite, the procedures are complete and deceptive According to the experts concerned, unlike similar cases in the past, in recent cases of fake drugs discovered by Zui, most of the fake drugs are found in regular hospitals and pharmacies This shows that fake drugs have penetrated into the key links of drug circulation, rather than just through street selling or mailing as in previous years, which is more deceptive According to the analysis of four cases of fake drugs, Ningbo pharmaceutical regulatory department believes that the means of making fake drugs by legal subjects are ingenious, with three characteristics: first, the majority of fake drugs are Chinese patent medicines The fake drugs seized by Ningbo pharmaceutical regulatory department are all Chinese patent medicines According to the analysis, the counterfeiters take advantage of the gap of "slow drug effect can not kill people" Second, the outer packaging is exquisite There is basically no difference or only slight difference between the manual and the real product, which is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish For example, Cixi investigated and punished the fake "Caile", whose outer packaging is similar to the over-the-counter drug "Caile" produced by Xi'an YANGSEN Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., but the trademark is a little vague In addition, its production batch number, production date, drug production license, quality assurance certificate, etc are all available It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity, so it can easily flow into some regular hospitals and pharmacies The third is to exaggerate the scope of curative effect The over-the-counter fake medicine "Wubei granules" found in a drugstore in the city is marked as produced by Anhui Xianqiu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd Mingming is only suitable for the treatment of gastric pain and pantothenic acid, but it is exaggerated to be able to treat gastric and duodenal ulcer, and has the effect of astringency and hemostasis Obviously, the main therapeutic function of the drug is beyond the specified range Exposing the loopholes of drug supervision, the general agent system of drug sales enables the drug representatives to bring "private goods" when they sell drugs, and the management department formulates the management measures According to the relevant principals of Ningbo Drug Inspection Branch, the main reason for the fake drugs to flow into the regular hospitals and pharmacies is that there is a problem in the circulation link At present, the general agent system is adopted in drug factory to sell products The sales company then entrusts the medical representative to sell drugs, and brings some "private goods" to the medical representative when selling, which makes it possible for fake drugs to enter the regular circulation channels In addition, some drugstores are greedy for cheap, and they take drugs from improper channels, which also gives criminals a chance In view of the new situation in the case of fake drugs, Shi Xiaohua, director of Ningbo drug administration, believes that "some enterprises and lawbreakers make drugs by pretending to be superior for their own personal interests, which is not only the institutional" drugs "brought about by the imperfect market economy, but also the obstacles to the inadequate work of the government regulatory departments The government departments with public responsibility must not fall behind at all levels, so that the life-threatening drug safety supervision is nothing! " "As a special commodity, drugs must be produced in strict accordance with the drug administration law and GMP management What's worrying is that at present, many regular pharmaceutical enterprises are also difficult to fully produce according to the above standards, which requires the pharmaceutical supervision department to stare! " According to Shi Xiaohua, there are as many as 5000 batches of drugs entering Ningbo every year from all over the country In order to increase the scope and strength of spot check, Ningbo municipal government will increase the intensity of spot check on the basis of a special fund of 1.5 million yuan allocated this year At the same time, the director said, in view of the current situation that there are few people and long lines in drug regulatory departments, which inevitably leads to omissions, establishing a "blacklist" and implementing information management is one of the effective countermeasures to strengthen supervision That is to say, we should focus on the supervision of the products of "problem drugs" or "criminal record" drug factories that have sold fake drugs or substandard drugs, and strengthen the sampling inspection of different batches of drugs, so as to ensure the drug safety of the people to a large extent In view of the management defects of large liquidity of pharmaceutical representatives and lack of industry access qualification system, Ningbo pharmaceutical industry association is preparing to issue the administrative measures for pharmaceutical marketing personnel in Ningbo, which will implement the practice qualification certificate system for pharmaceutical marketing personnel including qualification access and annual registration The Ningbo food and drug administration is also developing relevant government regulatory documents Source: People's daily
