After listening to Xie Ju's words, Wei Kang knew what was going on.
It turns out that the Municipal Food and Drug Administration received a real-name report, saying that counterfeit drugs were sold in Longtu’s shared laboratory, and also cited trientine hydrochloride and other raw materials as examples.
When the Food and Drug Administration saw that they were reporting Sanqing, they couldn’t believe it for a moment, because Sanqing has always been a high-tech innovative drug, how could it be related to counterfeit drugs.
However, since the report was received, a routine investigation still had to be conducted. Since Sanqing was a major taxpayer in Kunming City and a benchmark among high-tech enterprises, Bureau Xie personally called to inform him.
After finishing speaking, Bureau Xie added meaningfully: "Mr. Wei, whether this matter is big or small, we still have to check it regularly. But have you offended anyone recently?"
Wei Kang was stunned for a moment. If he wanted to offend people, what he did would not offend people. Especially once the price limit order was issued, it is estimated that all the major pharmaceutical companies would hate him to death.
However, reporting the sale of counterfeit drugs is a bit troublesome, too amateurish, and should not be the method of a multinational pharmaceutical company.
He could only smile bitterly and said: "Thank you, you are right. As a company gets bigger, there will definitely be many competitors. How can we not offend others?"
"Haha," Xie Ju's hearty laughter came from the phone: "That's right. If you are not jealous, you are mediocre. With Sanqing's current size, there are many jealous people."
"Okay, we will send someone to share the laboratory test tomorrow, but it's not a big deal, just don't worry."
Wei Kang nodded repeatedly and quickly complained.
"Thank you so much. In fact, we are a little baffled by this matter. The report of selling fake medicine is too ridiculous."
"It's not illegal to run shared laboratories now, right? There are many companies and units renting out laboratories on the market, and we are just one of them. Besides, laboratories always have to provide some raw materials, so we sell some industrial compounds by the way. The weight is not much. , they are not produced by us, they are all purchased legally from raw material manufacturers.”
"As a large pharmaceutical company, we are a big customer of many raw material manufacturers. It is reasonable to order more types of chemical raw materials with higher purity. The patents for compounds like trientine have long been outdated and they have many uses. We They are all provided to customers as industrial compounds.”
"As for what customers do in the shared laboratory, it really has nothing to do with us. As long as it's not illegal, we don't know and we don't have the power to regulate it."
"Of course, we will never provide some controlled compounds. Therefore, we do not understand this kind of reporting behavior and think it is very excessive."
"We wholeheartedly wanted to provide customers with better services, but we didn't expect that we would attract unwarranted slander from others."
"I hope that after the bureau sends people to check, they can give us a clear answer as soon as possible."
Xie Bureau sighed and said in a very calm tone: "I understand your current mood very well. This report is indeed a bit ridiculous. Don't worry, this matter will soon come to light. We will never let a national enterprise that serves the country and the people Chilling."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Kang sneered and frowned. He was keenly aware that this matter was not simple.
If you are just jealous of Sanqing, there are many ways to deal with it, and there is no need to go to the shared laboratory.
The shared laboratory has just opened not long ago, and is the only one in the country, so it doesn’t attract anyone’s attention at all.
As for the reason for reporting, the sale of counterfeit medicines is simply outrageous.
What the shared laboratory provides are just some chemical raw materials and compounds. Although they can be made into medicines, they need to go through a series of preparation processes. It is not enough to just take the powder and pour it into your mouth.
After all, leasing a laboratory and providing some raw materials and reagents is just like providing equipment. It is normal and reasonable.
As long as the customer pays, there is no reason why the laboratory cannot provide it.
Should we still let customers buy it themselves and then bring it into the laboratory?
Who knows whether what the customer buys is legal or not, and whether it meets the standards? If he buys some fake or shoddy product and causes an accident in the laboratory, it is really unclear.
It is better to provide a full set of raw materials, reagents and equipment from the beginning, and control the quality from the source to avoid any accidents.
Anyway, as a large pharmaceutical company, Sanqing has many suppliers and its monthly purchase volume is amazing. It can give customers the best price without leaving the middlemen to make any difference.
Wei Kang thought that everything was very reasonable and could not find anything wrong with it.
When he first selected the raw materials to provide, he carefully selected some products that were relatively popular, had no patent issues, and had been available for many years.
For example, trientine hydrochloride is a chemical raw material produced industrially using the dichloroethane amination method. In addition to manufacturing drugs, it is also widely used in industry. It can be used as a curing agent, or an organic synthesis intermediate and Solvents, as well as metal chelating agents, brighteners, detergents, dispersants, etc.
For such an industrial compound, who cares whether the customer uses it to make medicine, study chemical synthesis, or manufacture other compounds? What does it have to do with Sanqing?
Therefore, the person who reported the report was either interested in the matter or was really seriously ill.
From a humanistic point of view, Wei Kang still prefers the reason of interests, but for the time being it is not clear who is behind the scenes. He can only try to show off his tactics and wait to see the other party's subsequent methods.
Soon, people sent by the Food and Drug Administration went to the shared laboratory, inspected it carefully, and took many photos.
The final conclusion is that it is legal and compliant in all aspects and is beyond reproach. As for the reported counterfeit drugs, there are none.
The reporter quickly received a reply from the Kunming Food and Drug Administration.
“This is to verify that Longtu Sharing Laboratory has not found any sales of counterfeit drugs, and its operations are fully compliant. As for the items you cited, they are common industrial compounds, and selling such items does not constitute any illegal act. "
After Li Li, the general manager of Lotus Company, received the news, he was so angry that his nose was crooked. He suddenly became furious and lost his temper at the legal affairs department.
"Asshole, didn't you say that according to the Drug Control Law, raw materials are counterfeit drugs? Is it a violation of the criminal law to sell counterfeit drugs to patients? Moreover, his counterfeit drugs are sold to babies, so he should be sentenced severely!"
"Why doesn't the Food and Drug Administration care at all? Tell me, why?"
The legal officer lowered his head and hesitated: "It stands to reason, but his situation may be different from what we imagined, and it may be more special..."
Li Li yelled loudly: "What special situation? If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't hide it."
The legal officer frowned and said: "Based on the reply from the Food and Drug Administration, it is obvious that Sanqing provided trientine hydrochloride as a chemical raw material to the patient. This cannot be said to be illegal. After all, the patient rented an entire laboratory. The raw materials provided are the same as the equipment and reagents.”
"It is actually the patients who make their own counterfeit medicines. Sanqing only provides the place, raw materials and equipment. In fact, this is not clearly stipulated in the legal sense, because it is not illegal for patients to buy medicines or make medicines by themselves. Only sales and Resale is illegal.”
"And the Supreme Court is very tolerant of patients seeking their own medicines. The judicial interpretation has said that selling a small amount of medicines that are privately processed according to traditional folk formulas, or selling a small amount of overseas medicines that are imported without approval, does not cause harm to others or Delay in diagnosis and treatment, if the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not serious, will not be considered a crime.”
"So, the situation is very tricky now. Sanqing has very cleverly put itself in the position of a service provider and completely dissociated itself from manufacturing counterfeit drugs. I'm afraid it will be more difficult for us to deal with it, and it will be even harder for patients. Go deal with it.”
With a bang, Li Li dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground again.
His chest couldn't help rising and falling, and his nose was so angry that he said, "According to what you say, there's nothing we can do about it."
The legal officer smiled wryly and shook his head: "I'm afraid so. Reporting is useless, and there is no legal support for prosecution. There is really nothing we can do."
There was something he didn't dare to say. In fact, the main reason for this situation was that the patent for the compound trientine hydrochloride had expired long ago, so there was nothing that could be done.
If it is a newly developed drug, the compound molecules are patented, and Sanqing will never dare to produce and sell them at will. Otherwise, the pharmaceutical company will sue for infringement every minute, and Sanqing will have to pay a lot of money.
Now there are no patents on compounds. Even if the original drug manufacturer has a patent on the preparation, it is of no use at all, because it is the patient who takes the raw materials and makes his own medicine. The patient makes the medicine for himself, not for selling it. This is true all over the world. Not illegal.
Li Li covered his forehead with a terrible headache. This newly introduced medicine seemed to be unsaleable, but what should he do?
It was clearly Sanqing who was causing trouble, but there was absolutely nothing he could do about it.
For now, the only way is to explain this situation to the original drug manufacturer of Trientine Hydrochloride.
This drug is completely lost, and the strategic cooperation cannot continue. I hope that the original drug manufacturers can develop a new generation of drugs as soon as possible, so that they may be able to gain more market share.
After all, if the iterative new version of the drug is more effective and has fewer side effects, some patients who are not short of money may buy the new drug.
However, he couldn't just let Sanqing have an easy time. He had to make some trouble for Sanqing. He didn't ask for lethality, but he just wanted to disgust the opponent.
Li Li's eyes rolled for a while, and he quickly came up with an idea.
He plans to buy some fake drugs and use the shared laboratory to hack the entire network. At the same time, he also wants to fabricate facts and expose the side effects of homemade medicines. It is best to scare patients away from making their own medicines and buying regular medicines.
Not long after, a report suddenly appeared on the Internet: "Homemade medicine, is it a life-saving straw or a life-saving talisman?"
The article was long and eloquent, seemingly impartially reporting on the domestic self-medication chaos, and calling for the attention of the whole society.
The article pointed out, “Due to various reasons, many patients cannot buy curative drugs, so they make homemade drugs at all costs to save their lives. Although this behavior is not worthy of encouragement, it cannot be harshly condemned.”
"It's just that patients buy raw materials from unknown sources everywhere, make their own medicines, and use themselves as experimental mice without any safety guarantee. The risk is too great. I hope patients can act with caution."
"This phenomenon not only brings certain legal risks, but also the side effects of counterfeit drugs are very serious, and it can even cause medical confusion. Patients take drugs that are not approved in the country and go to doctors for treatment. The efficacy and adverse reactions of the drugs are unknown, and it is very difficult for them to do so." It can easily cause treatment problems.”
"Pharmacologically speaking, the impurities, proportions, and quality and safety of self-made medicines are uncontrollable. Clinically speaking, if you don't take the right dose, low doses will cause drug resistance, and high doses will cause poisoning. There is no doubt that it is dangerous. Very big."
"There are even many patients who have taken such homemade medicines and suddenly died of poisoning. It is still unknown whether it was counterfeit medicines, adverse reactions, or other causes that took away their lives."
“Let us mourn for these patients. They passed away during drug trials and drug changes, and suffered painful side effects before they died. No one knows whether these serious adverse reactions are related to unknown APIs. "
"These poor patients deserve sympathy. We recommend that they obtain quality insurance and reasonably priced drugs through reliable channels to prevent being deceived and delaying their illness."
The article cited many examples of patients who died after taking homemade medicines. It was so shocking that it made people’s scalps numb, saying that homemade medicines are very harmful to people.
This article quickly attracted everyone's attention. Many big Vs and marketing accounts reposted it, and it quickly became a hot search topic.
After seeing it, netizens sympathized with these patients and started a heated discussion.
"It's so pitiful. Incurable patients are forced to this point. It's really miserable."
"It almost made me cry. I really want to help them, but I don't know where to donate."
"Hey, a long sigh, medicines are too expensive now. What's even more disgusting is that even such expensive medicines have not been introduced into the country."
"Fortunately, we have Sanqing. Some major diseases have been brought under control. I hope Sanqing will continue to work hard and continue to conquer other serious diseases."
"Sanqing alone is not enough. Domestic pharmaceutical companies must also strengthen their support."
In the midst of the discussion, some poor patients emerged, showing off their cases and the painful experience of taking homemade medicine.
"Everyone, I am a victim of homemade medicine. I am a hepatitis B patient. A new anti-hepatitis B virus drug was released abroad in the past two years. When it was first launched, many domestic laboratories were synthesizing this drug. I bought it. I tried some homemade medicines, but after taking them, my heart rate increased, I felt fatigued, my legs hurt, and a series of adverse reactions made me miserable. I only returned to normal after I stopped taking them.”
"I would like to advise all patients based on my own personal experience not to buy any homemade medicines. In fact, they are all fake medicines. If you take them, you will definitely have various problems. There are even people around me who have serious adverse reactions after taking them. Timely control will lead to damage to cardiac function and eventually death from heart failure.”
Netizens shed tears one by one, and many people had subtle resistance to homemade medicine.
Just when the whole Internet started shouting and killing self-made medicines, suddenly some netizens jumped out to speak out for self-made medicines.
“Don’t get me wrong, homemade medicine is not all bad. Of course, you should not buy raw materials for some newly released drugs, because many of the side effects are not obvious, and the skills of drug dealers are also uneven. It is difficult to make your own medicine, and there are great risks. . But there are some relatively simple medicines that are not sold in China for some reasons. I think you can still try homemade ones."
"I am a parent of a rare disease patient. The medicines my children need have been on the market abroad for decades. The ingredients are simple and reliable. However, no domestic pharmaceutical companies are willing to make generic medicines, and foreign medicines are too expensive and inconvenient to purchase. , I had no choice but to make my own medicine, and after a lot of hard work, I finally saved the child’s life. In this case, why not try to make your own medicine?”
Along with him, many other patients spoke out, and the number was not small, which also triggered huge discussions online.
In the end, Cao Yang had no choice but to speak out and ended up taking the stand for his own medicine.
He became famous because he made his own medicine to save children. He has many fans, which naturally has an advertising effect. Using his own deeds as an example is more convincing.
"I am a beneficiary of self-medication, and I have to say that for desperate patients, self-medication is indeed a promising path. Of course, this road is also very difficult, and you need to keep learning to avoid many risks. .”
"Self-made medicine requires learning relevant professional knowledge to master it. If you don't know how to make it, please don't make it easily. What you should do is ask doctors, pharmaceutical companies and other professionals for help. Even if you ask patients to buy original medicine on their behalf, you will end up hastily than yourself. It’s better to be self-controlled.”
"But if you have perseverance, perseverance, and are willing to learn relevant professional knowledge, then you can make your own medicine. This is a necessary prerequisite, and I hope everyone can understand it."
"What we oppose is buying raw materials from unknown sources, and then taking them without hesitation. We are not against using knowledge and ability to save ourselves. I hope everyone can understand this."
After his statement, netizens immediately felt that homemade medicine was very reasonable and not unacceptable.
The constant struggle between two invisible forces quickly evolved into a battle over the rights and wrongs of self-medication.
In short, the public is right and the mother-in-law is right. Everyone has their own position and reasons, and no one can convince the other.
Wei Kang looked at all this online and frowned deeply.
The previous report on the shared laboratory, because it was a real-name report, he quickly found the whistleblower, and then with the help of Anmei, he had found the behind-the-scenes instigator - Lotus Company.
He also understood the reason for the other party's report. He also didn't expect that the patient's simple homemade medicine would involve Sanqing and almost turn him into the scapegoat.
But now, the other party is causing trouble on the Internet again, and the traces of those trolls are very obvious to the eyes of discerning people.
Even some netizens who claim to be victims of self-made medicines have sent out incorrect information, which is a serious sign of fraud in the eyes of professionals.
"Haha, this is Xianggong's sword dance with the intention of attacking Pei Gong. On the surface, he is attacking the self-made medicine, but in fact he is trying to discredit Sanqing's shared laboratory."
Wei Kang's heart was filled with anger. He wanted to retaliate with tooth and teach this blind Lotus Company a harsh lesson.
