The safety of traditional Chinese medicine has been questioned, and the injection of traditional Chinese medicine has begun to go downhill

[pharmaceutical Station industry trends 】In recent years, with the promotion of policies such as limited medical insurance, key monitoring of auxiliary drugs, and re evaluation after the injection goes on the market, the brand shuffling of traditional Chinese medicine injection industry has accelerated, and traditional Chinese medicine injection production enterprises are also facing great challenges In terms of the performance of traditional Chinese medicine enterprises in 2018, many enterprises' performance is affected due to the safety torture or restricted use of core varieties According to the industry, with the frequent occurrence of adverse reactions and safety problems of traditional Chinese medicine injections, and the continuous strengthening of drug safety supervision, the industry of traditional Chinese medicine injections began to go "downhill" In fact, in 2018, a number of traditional Chinese medicines made statements in the 2018 annual report, among which the injection products were affected to varying degrees, resulting in unsatisfactory performance For example, Zhongheng group said that sales of traditional Chinese medicine injections are facing challenges due to tighter policies on traditional Chinese medicine injections, restrictions on the use of new medical insurance, key monitoring and other restrictions The sales of its blockbuster product Xueshuantong for injection decreased by 21.1% year on year in 2018; Dali pharmaceutical said that with the introduction of relevant documents on key monitoring drugs in each province, antibiotics, injection, especially traditional Chinese medicine injection, auxiliary drugs, etc have become the focus of monitoring Xingnaojing injection and Shenmai injection, the leading products of the company, are limited to the purchase and use of secondary and above medical institutions within the scope of medical insurance payment, and their performance is affected So, is it only the result of "being beaten" after the Chinese medicine injection with a market of 100 billion yuan? Are all traditional Chinese medicine injections ineffective? According to the data, traditional Chinese medicine injection refers to the preparation which is made from the effective substances extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine and can be injected into the human body, including the sterile solution or emulsion, suspension used for muscle, acupoint, intravenous injection and intravenous drip, as well as the sterile powder or concentrated solution prepared for the solution before being used It can be said that traditional Chinese medicine injection combines traditional medicine theory with modern production technology, changes the way of administration, and is the product of modernization of traditional Chinese medicine "It is not safe to deny the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine injection, it has played a role in a certain period of time, and helps doctors diagnosis and treatment Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine injection has the advantages of quick effect, low price and no drug resistance, which should not be ignored in the treatment of critical cases " That's what the industry says However, the side effects and safety of traditional Chinese medicine injection need to be paid more attention According to the national ADR monitoring annual report (2017), 54.6% of ADRs were reported by injection in 2017, and 84.1% by intravenous injection in 2017   In addition, since 2018, the State Food and drug administration has continuously issued the notice on the revised instruction manual of traditional Chinese medicine injection varieties such as Xuesaitong injection, Xueshuantong injection, Qingkailing injection, Yiqi Fumai injection (freeze-dried), gastrodin injection, Danshen injection, Shuanghuanglian injection, Chaihu Injection, Shenmai injection, all of which indicate the safety of traditional Chinese medicine injection There are serious hidden dangers In this regard, the industry believes that the threshold for the listing of traditional Chinese medicine injections needs to be improved, "since we want to use it, we have to prove its effectiveness and safety Only after a large-scale, strict clinical, after a lot of experiments and tests can products be put on the market " But on the whole, the life of traditional Chinese medicine injection will not be easy in the future.
