The leading brother carefully recalled what he saw and heard in the shared laboratory, threw away his phone, picked up the keyboard, and started typing frantically on the computer with his fingers flying.
"Everyone, I experienced the newly opened shared laboratory for three hours this morning. It was very shocking and full of emotions."
"First of all, the address is very easy to find. There is a small building next to the first intersection after entering the industrial park. The sign of Longtu is very obvious, and there is a bank next to it."
"To enter, you need to use the Longtu app to scan the code to open the door. There is a changing room inside where you can change into lab coats and put some belongings. Cell phones cannot be brought in, so I didn't take pictures this time."
"After putting it on, there are laboratories inside, all numbered. I booked a small one, but I didn't look at the large one carefully. It should be a biological laboratory, and it must be more fully equipped."
"I found the laboratory I booked. All the equipment was there. I only brought the raw materials and excipients, and successfully completed the loading task."
"Don't worry if you go there in the future. You don't need to bring anything. It's basically everything in the laboratory."
"What surprises me most is that APIs can be ordered in the laboratory. I can even order trientine hydrochloride. It's really amazing and the price is cheaper than what I bought from private sellers."
"The raw materials provided by the laboratory are of high purity. I don't know whether they were synthesized by myself or ordered from the manufacturer."
"In short, everyone can order APIs directly from there. It's really very convenient and reliable."
"By the way, these are the photos I took of the locker room and outside the laboratory."
The eldest brother who took the lead changed from his usual style of cherishing words like gold. He typed so many words in one breath and sent four or five photos.
The group of friends were instantly shocked.
After reading the photos and news, they were all excited.
"That's great. It seems like you don't have to buy test tubes, electronic balances and other things by yourself. You can save a lot of money."
"You can even buy raw materials. It's really a one-stop service."
“Then you can directly order raw materials and laboratories through the app, and just make your own in the past.”
"The laboratory currently has a trial price of 100 yuan an hour, which is still a good deal. However, it will probably be more expensive when the price returns to normal."
The leader explained: "A maximum of four people can enter a laboratory at the same time. You can buy in a group and learn from each other."
"That's right, I'm not very familiar with the art of loading medicine. I need an experienced hand to teach me. Let's go together."
"I have memorized the steps in the "Charging Guide Collection" by heart, I just need to practice."
"Everyone, let's go together while taking advantage of the current discount. I have already booked the high-speed train to Kunming for tomorrow morning and the laboratory for the afternoon. Does anyone want to share the order?"
"I signed up. The medicine I bought from someone last time is about to be used up. My child can't wait. I'm going to try my own medicine."
"Yes, it used to be too difficult to buy raw materials and equipment and do it at home. Now we can finally rent a professional laboratory, so what are you waiting for?"
"I have a good idea, @大哥, can the group leader go there again and teach us? We have paid for the laboratory, and we can treat the group leader to a big meal."
When the leader saw this, he smiled and typed a reply: "I have no problem. In fact, when you come to Kunming, as a landlord, I should treat you."
"Wherever, the group leader can teach us the steps of making medicine in the laboratory, we would be very grateful. Let me treat you to this meal."
A warm feeling surged in the heart of the elder brother who took the lead: "You're welcome, we are all fellow patients, and we are all doing this for the sake of the child's early recovery. This is what I should do."
"Group leader, you have done a lot for everyone. You also compiled the pharmaceutical articles, and you also explored the laboratory for us. Now that you have found such a good way, you save a lot of money every month. We should all thank you. you!"
"Thanks to the group leader, this good man has a safe life."
"Thanks to the group leader, this good man has a safe life."
The leading brother burst into tears when he saw the group members' words of thanks. He felt that everything he had done for the patients was in vain, and the hard work finally paid off.
At the moment, he made an appointment with several patients to go to the shared laboratory again tomorrow and teach them how to make their own trientine hydrochloride. In the future, when they need it, they can make their own medicine instead of purchasing high-priced imported medicine.
Later, he updated the contents of the "Charging Guide Collection", added the contents of the shared laboratory, and then shared it in the group.
The next day, three parents of patients who live in the Yangtze River Delta arrived as scheduled. The four of them happened to form a team. They rushed to the shared laboratory in the afternoon and began some serious on-site teaching.
The three parents all learned quickly and memorized the steps. The next step was just practice.
They all installed their medicines quickly without any mistakes.
Everyone suddenly sighed. It turns out that there is a tutorial and it is not difficult at all. If I had known better, I would not have been taken advantage of and bought imported medicines that cost 200 US dollars a pill.
The annual medical expenses of tens of thousands are really IQ taxes. It is better to be self-reliant.
After they returned, they began to try medicine on their children and recorded in detail the dosage, effects, and side effects of the medicine.
The conditions of the children were relieved, and the parents were completely relieved.
Each of them seemed to have discovered a new continent, and they were extremely excited.
This path of self-medication is feasible!
Tutorials, venues, materials, and effects are all there. If you still can't learn it like this, you can really only blame yourself for not working hard enough.
For the sake of their children's health, in order not to buy high-priced medicines, and in order for their children to have medicines that can be cured, the parents instantly received a shot of blood, and their enthusiasm was high.
Fight for the sake of the children!
This is the voice of every parent!
As a result, more and more people are making their own medicines, and more and more children are trying the medicines.
Everyone recorded the children's medicine tests, compiled them, and posted them on Long Tu's Bronze Doll Symptoms Forum.
The information in the forum is rich, and detailed pharmaceutical guidelines and standards have been formed. There are even experience sharing for novices, as well as answers and discussions on many questions. The academic atmosphere of the entire forum is unexpectedly strong.
If someone is unsure about the time, the patients will send the drug test report to the group and discuss it together.
And some questions that should have been raised to doctors have become difficult problems for patients to discuss together.
“What should I do if I get a rash?”
"Is it normal to feel flustered?"
"It's been two weeks and the effect is average. Do you want to increase the dosage?"
The discussion was lively, and some patients seemed to have become experts in answering questions. They once collected the FDA's clinical trial drug data, dosage estimates, and even some foreign cases of Wilson's disease, which became their reference standards.
The more they discussed, the stronger their desire for genetic medicine became.
Everyone is waiting for the day when Sanqing develops genetic medicine.
Longtu's shared laboratory was opened with low commissioning and did not attract much attention.
Only patients with special needs will pay attention to it and realize its benefits.
And self-medication patients are a fairly low-key group, because they all know that this is a gray area in China, and there are considerable risks in the buying and selling process.
It is not illegal to buy raw materials and repackage them yourself, but this kind of irregular selling is illegal, and a large part of the raw materials sold by private parties are considered fake drugs, and the sellers may be arrested at any time.
Therefore, their main trading gathering places in the past were QQ and WeChat groups.
Many group owners are drug dealers. To buy medicine, you have to send a private message to the group owner and provide medical records.
The review for joining the group is very strict. In order to ensure that the information is private and not discovered, after joining the group, those who do not provide medical records and diagnosis certificates for 24 hours will be deleted.
This kind of transaction is very insecure for patients. Patients have no idea whether there will be any effect after taking it, how long it will last, and whether there will be strong side effects.
In fact, they are also in pain. If they have a choice, who would want to buy a packet of suspicious medicinal powder from an unknown drug dealer, swallow it, and wait uneasily for the effect.
Now, however, some patients have new options.
Some drugs similar to trientine hydrochloride have been on the market for a long time. They have simple structures and are easy to make. As long as they find a chemical researcher for advice, patients can easily embark on the path of self-reliance in a shared laboratory.
It is difficult for all of this not to be noticed by those who are interested.
In addition to drug dealers, there are also pharmaceutical companies. They are all keenly aware of the big variable of shared laboratories.
Lotus Pharmaceuticals is a domestic pharmaceutical company. They have spent a lot of effort and paid a considerable price. They have recently reached strategic cooperation with foreign pharmaceutical companies and introduced two rare disease drugs, namely vigabatrin powder for the treatment of infantile spasms. , and trientine hydrochloride capsules for the treatment of copper doll (wilson).
These two rare disease drugs are not sold in China. Lotus Pharmaceuticals can be said to have enriched the company's product portfolio and greatly expanded its product line.
Since trientine hydrochloride capsules are expensive abroad, Lotus Pharmaceuticals is planning to flex its muscles and strive for maximum commercial returns.
At present, the company has opened up channels for drug launch and promotion, and is working hard to promote products to enter the national medical insurance catalog.
At this moment, General Manager Li Li is sitting in a luxurious and spacious office, accepting interviews from the media with a cheerful face.
Facing reporters, he spoke eloquently: "The price of the trientine hydrochloride capsules introduced by the company this time in Eagle Country is US$200 per capsule. The domestic pricing will be lower than the level of internationally developed countries."
"The company is mainly responsible for the import and local sales of the drug, will provide more preferential treatment options with the United Foundation, recommend it to consumers at the most reasonable price, and work hard to promote the product to enter the national medical insurance catalog."
"After the two products are launched, reasonable prices are very important. As for whether they can be included in medical insurance, it has not yet been determined. Discussions are ongoing with medical insurance."
"Promoting diagnostic education on rare diseases to the general public and doctors is what the company will focus on next. The expectations for the introduction of rare drugs this time are more reflected in the brand value."
After sending the reporters away, Li Li crossed his legs, drank tea proudly to soothe his throat, and imagined the hot sales of two orphan drugs.
Suddenly, dong dong dong, the office door suddenly rang.
Then, the sales director rushed in with a look of panic on his face.
"Mr. Li, it's bad. Trientine Hydrochloride Capsules have been on the market for more than a month, but not a single box has been sold. The sellers are asking us to return them!"
"What?" Li Li stood up suddenly and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
The sales director wiped the cold sweat from his head: "I don't know either. We did a good job in market research before. This drug clearly has major demand from domestic patients, but I don't know how it happened, but it turned out to be unsaleable."
Li Li pondered for three seconds: "This is unscientific. There is currently no generic version of Trientine Hydrochloride Capsules on the market in China. The patients are there, and it is impossible not to buy the medicine. Besides, our prices are cheaper than abroad. They cost 200 for overseas purchases." For one U.S. dollar, we are one-third cheaper, so it is impossible for patients to buy foreign medicines."
The sales director said with a grimace: "I didn't understand it either."
Li Li suddenly became angry: "I don't know this or that. What do I need from you? There must be a reason why the medicine cannot be sold. There has been no approved new treatment for this disease for more than 20 years. Patients can only take Trientine hydrochloride, they must have found other ways to meet their needs, so they don’t buy our medicine.”
The sales director had an idea: "Could it be that the patient bought counterfeit medicines?"
Li Li's eyes flashed coldly: "It's not impossible. It seems that the company's legal affairs are going to be dispatched to arrest a group of drug dealers to scare the monkeys!"
"The company has spent a lot of money on the introduction of these two drugs, but it hopes to make exponential profits from patients. It must not be allowed to be ruined by drug dealers."
Lotus Company quickly took action and conducted a thorough investigation across the entire network. They actually found a few drug dealers, but upon questioning, they were immediately confused.
It turns out that drug dealers no longer sell the raw material of trientine hydrochloride, and Lotus Company could not find any evidence of infringement by the other party.
As for taking the trouble to send drug dealers to the police for other counterfeit drugs, Lotus Company is not that nosy.
After some more questioning, I finally learned the truth from the drug dealer.
It turns out that the family members of patients with Wilson's disease no longer buy medicines. They order raw materials directly from the shared laboratory and then make their own packages. It is not too convenient and the price is cheap.
When the news reached Li Li's ears, he was so angry that he smashed the tea cup.
"This is simply unreasonable. Is this Sanqing Pharmaceutical deliberately destroying our jobs? Do you think this Wei Kang is sick?"
Li Li thought about it and couldn't understand why Sanqing did this, but it was obvious that this shared laboratory was definitely blocking their family's financial path.
He pondered for a while and asked the legal affairs officer with some uncertainty: "Is this shared laboratory illegal? Are they selling raw materials to patients like this and no one cares about it? What should the patients do if something goes wrong?"
The legal officer nodded affirmatively: "Mr. Li, it is definitely illegal to do this. The Criminal Law Amendment stipulates that in order to crack down on the crime of selling counterfeit drugs with zero tolerance, as long as there is a subjective and intentional act of producing and selling counterfeit drugs, it constitutes a crime, regardless of whether it is for profit or not. Whether actual bodily harm occurred.”
"The criminal law also clearly stipulates that those who produce and sell counterfeit drugs that are mainly intended for pregnant women, infants, children or critically ill patients shall be severely punished as appropriate."
"Domestic drug management regulations stipulate that any drug that is produced, imported, or sold without inspection is deemed to be counterfeit."
Li Li was immediately overjoyed, slapped his thigh and said, "That's great, let's go to the Food and Drug Administration to report it."
So, Wei Kang, who was sitting in the office, suddenly received a notification call from the Food and Drug Administration.
"Hello, Xie Bureau...what? Sanqing has been reported?"
"Someone reported that Longtu's shared laboratory illegally sold counterfeit drugs?"
He couldn't help but have a question mark on his face: "???"
The guy who reported it is probably not seriously ill!
