Chinese herbal medicine in the source of origin, belongs to agricultural and sideline products, only to the professional market or production enterprises are Chinese herbal medicinefor many years, when pharmaceutical farmers grow Chinese herbs, they have become accustomed to the use of pesticidesFor example, white art, many drug farmers in the planting time will use pesticideroots root, in order to prevent the seeds into the soil to be eaten by insects That is to say, before planting Chinese herbs already have agricultural residues, not to mention in the process of planting in the future to fight pesticides The problem of chinese medicine farmers' disability has occurred since the very beginning for pharmaceutical farmers, the cultivation of Chinese medicine is an agricultural by-product, not our industry believes that the use of medicine for the treatment of diseases and rescue people What pharmaceutical farmers need is economic benefits, therefore, in the process of growing Chinese medicine, large doses of pesticides, fertilizers, plant growth regulators, will cause chinese medicine agricultural residues or heavy metals over the standard phenomenon in addition, because agricultural residues and sulfur are not the same, agricultural residues are invisible to the naked eye, must be tested by professional instruments But sulfur is able to see out, we can be targeted to avoid, so that drug farmers in the market can not sell products, he would not dare to use sulfur in this case, the Pharmacopeia on the Chinese medicine farmers to immediately reflect the constraints, it is more difficult agricultural by-products are not under the jurisdiction of the drug regulatory department, but agricultural residues are derived from Traditional Chinese medicine or agricultural by-products stage With the implementation of the new version of the Pharmacopoeia, the pharmaceutical regulatory department will check the requirements of Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese medicine tablets of agricultural residues, Chinese medicine enterprises will be sandwiched between the planting end and the regulatory authorities, suffering from unpredictable pressure on agricultural residues testing not from the source to solve the problem, control of agricultural residues is very difficult 2, the use of Chinese medicine is not only medicinal
may say that to solve the problem of agricultural residues must let the drinking chip enterprises to take responsibility, enterprises do not buy agricultural residues, so that pharmaceutical farmers can not sell not on the line, they naturally dare not exceed the standard of pesticides there are two problems in this First of all, as mentioned earlier, the problem of agricultural disability can not be identified by the senses, must be used professional equipment When drinking tabletenterprises in the procurement of Chinese herbal medicine, it is difficult to do immediate inspection Second, the use of Traditional Chinese medicine is not just medicinal as we all know, the use of Traditional Chinese medicine is very wide, in addition to making Chinese medicine tablets, traditional Chinese medicine, can also be used as health care products In the use of medicine and food, some Chinese medicine is also widely used in daily health care There are also chemical extractions, pigment extraction, such as tweezers can be used to have pigment extraction, licorice can be used as a sweetener raw material in addition, , in accordance with the ministry of agriculture and rural areas, july 1, 2020 from the total ban on feed In the future, as a green and environmentally friendly raw material that can be used as an alternative to antibiotics, the demand for veterinary medicine is very large in a wide range of uses, pharmaceutical farmers simply do not need to care about the Pharmacopoeia for Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine tablets of agricultural residues requirements, because in addition to medicinal, they have other larger market options there is no source qualified raw materials, which enterprise qualified products? In the future, agricultural residues will become a major difficulty for Chinese medicine tablets in recent years, Chinese medicine tablets have become the national and provincial list of unqualified drugs regular slots, some even the entire list is Chinese medicine tablets These were found to be unqualified Chinese medicine drink tablets, there is no shortage of sources of some well-known large enterprises varieties according to statistics, in 2019 in all provinces of the country's Chinese medicine tablets / medicinal herbs quality sampling, 5865 batches of Chinese medicine tablets / herbs, there are 1858 batches of unqualified, accounting for up to 31.68 percent in addition, from the state to the local supervision, inspection efforts and frequency continue to increase, the requirements of Chinese medicine tablets enterprises more and more stringent, in recent years, the national recovery of GMP enterprises, the proportion of Chinese medicine enterprises in slowly decreasing recovered 96 in 2018, accounting for 43%, recovered 77 in 2017, accounting for 49%, recovered 90 in 2016, accounting for 53%, and 82, or 57%, in 2015 it is worth noting that with the implementation of the new version of the Pharmacopoeia, Chinese medicine tablets will still be the worst-hit areas for inspection in the next few years we can also see that in recent years, many places have reported the list of non-conforming drugs, are the majority of Chinese medicine tablets Why is that? Because of the Chinese medicine tablets, there are some items that need to be tested, after making traditional Chinese medicine, there is no need to test Does this mean that the raw materials of Chinese medicine are better than the quality of Chinese medicine tablets? Obviously not due to the face of testing this difficult, now increased the requirements of agricultural residues, Chinese medicine tablets in the next few years will be the worst-hit areas of unqualified drugs, drinking tablets enterprises will also usher in a new round of shuffle on the control of agricultural residues, if you can change a way of thinking, from the source to manage pesticides, will be better than in the terminal siege to stop the better effect Only by solving the problem from the source can we improve the quality of Chinese medicine as a whole.
