"Gift package for newbies?"
Wei Kang looked at the system instructions with a confused look.
"Since the host currently has zero points, a novice startup gift package will be given as a gift."
"The host can use the drug side effect extraction function once for free!"
“You will need to redeem points to use this feature in the future.”
"The points earned by the host at level 1 x3."
I see, it seems that this system is very considerate. Of course, it may be because I am worried that I will fail before I earn points.
He was immediately relieved and felt a little happy.
Drug side effects are no stranger to Wei Kang. For medical researchers, this word is like the incarnation of the devil, which makes people love and hate it.
During the drug research and development process, many unavoidable side effects are often discovered, most of which will cause various damages to the human body. As a result, drug research and development is often forced to be suspended or even abandoned completely, and the huge initial investment is wasted.
But things in the world are often so wonderful. Some drugs have some unexpected side effects and can produce surprising and magical effects in the clinical process.
Just like the famous Sildenafil, also known as Viagra, or Viagra in China, Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company invested a lot of money at that time, and its original intention was to invent a drug to treat cardiovascular diseases, but the results were disappointing in clinical trials.
Pfizer wanted to stop the development of this drug, but what they never expected was that all the men participating in the clinical trials were ecstatic about some of its side effects and were full of praise.
So Pfizer resolutely changed its research direction and invented the most famous drug for treating ED in history, which became popular all over the world and benefited the vast number of high-quality men in mankind.
This "lost in the east, gained in the mulberry" aphrodisiac drug has also brought huge financial resources to Pfizer.
When Wei Kang thought of this example, he couldn't help but get excited.
He had already thought of the many failed prescriptions accumulated in the laboratory.
Although the main efficacy of these drugs is not obvious, it can even be said to be completely useless.
But they all have more or less various side effects, and the reason why they gave up at the beginning was because there were too many side effects.
If he can extract a surprising side effect and make it into a new drug, the company can be revived in an instant.
He was instantly full of energy and rushed directly to the laboratory.
This laboratory was built when my parents were still alive.
At that time, he was young and vigorous and was not satisfied with the production of generic drugs. He always wanted to develop some improved drugs or even new drugs. In order to realize his dream of developing new drugs, his parents spent huge sums of money to build this laboratory.
Facts have proved that this laboratory is still very useful. Although all new drug research and development failed, it at least provided a lot of materials for the current predicament. Otherwise, he would have to temporarily find other pharmaceutical companies to purchase abandoned prescriptions.
Wei Kang looked at the failed prescriptions on the computer and slowly selected them carefully, not missing any prescription.
The attitude is as cautious as ordinary people choosing their first home.
"Let's start with the prescriptions that have passed the second clinical phase. These drugs have basically passed safety and durability tests and will not cause any harm to the human body."
"This drug is used to treat rhinitis. It can relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. However, the duration is too short, only 2-3 hours. The side effects are nausea, dizziness, and some possibility of causing diarrhea."
"Both the efficacy and side effects are too common and inappropriate. Give up."
"This drug promotes digestion and relieves gastrointestinal pain. Unfortunately, the effect is not obvious. The side effects are dry mouth, palpitations, and chest tightness."
"It would be great if the curative effect could be extracted from this. It would be a good medicine. If it only extracts side effects, what can I do if I extract side effects such as dry mouth and heart palpitations?"
"This antihypertensive drug is pretty good. Although it has almost no blood pressure lowering effect, the side effects include edema of the lower limbs, drowsiness, and may cause allergies."
"This side effect of drowsiness can be extracted, and it can be made into sleeping pills in the future. I think I can also make money, but it is of no use to me now."
"Sadly, sleep can't save the world."
After reading a dozen prescriptions in succession, they were all mediocre and mediocre. Even if they had eye-catching side effects, extracting them would not relieve his current predicament.
These medicines can make a lot of money. Help, no.
What he urgently needs now is life-saving medicine that can treat intermediate and advanced liver cancer.
Wei Kang rubbed his brows and decided to expand his thoughts.
Although these drugs are not toxic to the human body, they have no particularly outstanding effects or surprising side effects.
After all, positive effects and side effects are two sides of a drug, and sometimes they can be transformed under certain conditions. Depending on the purpose of treatment, the concept of side effects will also change.
Maybe look at drugs that have failed safety tests but are more effective?
He continued to search, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"This drug is very effective in treating chronic bronchitis and can effectively suppress inflammation. The side effect is that it easily increases gastric acid secretion, which greatly increases the risk of gastric ulcers..."
"Hey, among the side effects, there is actually 0.01% of the effect of inhibiting cancer cells. It's just because the content is so small that it's basically non-existent. This is not wrong. It would have been right before, but now, who told me that I have a system? .”
Wei Kang couldn't help but laugh.
"Although this side effect has only been tested on the lungs, and the effect on the liver is not sure, it is worth the opportunity."
Wei Kang made up his mind instantly, it’s you.
"The system extracts this effect of inhibiting cancer cells and generates new drugs."
"Ding! The side effects have been extracted, please check!"
Wei Kang looked at the system panel, and a new anti-cancer drug formula appeared in the lower lit area.
He took a closer look and found that the main ingredients of the drug had not changed, but the ratio had been increased or decreased, and two simple and harmless ingredients had been added.
The main efficacy of the drugs given by the system is to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and destroy their DNA to achieve the effect of treating cancer.
Because the drug is very pure, it takes very little time to take effect and has zero side effects.
Wei Kang suppressed his excitement and began to make the patent medicine needed for the experiment.
Yes, he was going to try the medicine himself.
After all, he had advanced liver cancer and time was running out.
He was extremely eager to experience the effects of the new anti-cancer drug.
Experience this feeling of being reborn.
Moreover, no clinical trial is more convincing than doing it yourself.
Soon enough pills were produced to last seven days.
Wei Kang calmed down, poured a glass of water, and quietly swallowed the pills.
Next, I have to wait three days to go to the hospital to test the results.
He'll wait and see.
