Sanofi officials quickly issued an announcement.
"Our company sincerely apologizes for the impact of this irbesartan impurity incident. It was not our intention to occupy public resources in this way."
"Although similar products are sold in China, the manufacturers of the domestically marketed products are completely different from the manufacturers of the recalled products. The quality of all domestically sold irbesartan drugs meets our company's quality inspection requirements and national standards, and there are no problems. , therefore this recall does not involve the Chinese market."
"The company has adopted unified quality standards for global production and sales, and insists on implementing a consistent open and transparent product recall system globally. If there are any problems, we will deal with them as soon as possible and never let everyone down."
"Sanofi has always attached great importance to the quality of drugs and the health of patients. We will definitely reflect deeply in the future to prevent similar situations from happening again."
As soon as the announcement was issued, netizens were in an uproar.
"Let me go, are you passing the blame to the foundry?"
"OEM: I'm just a temporary worker. It's normal for something to go wrong. As for taking responsibility, I don't have to think about it."
"I believe you, how many OEMs do you have? If there are problems with the others, why not the one produced by Huaxia? You really care about the quality of Huaxia's drugs. Thank you so much. .”
"It's better not to apologize. It's not sincere at all, and I still don't want to recall it."
"Even though problematic drugs have been recalled around the world, we still insist that China's drugs are not problematic. What a stubborn person."
"Nah, I've seen the shamelessness of pharmaceutical companies. No wonder it has such a bad reputation in the Eagle Country and has a reputation as a vampire."
"If there is no ghost, why don't you dare to leave a comment? Look at my repost and I'll scold you to death!"
Sanofi's apology not only failed to achieve the expected results, but was scolded even more harshly.
So far, there are endless cases of double standards by foreign companies. Netizens have seen it so much that they are no longer fooled.
As long as there is no recall, it means that the company is not sincere in solving the problem. Therefore, no matter how high-sounding it is, they will not believe a word and will not give it a good look.

The recall incident during this period caused a lot of noise, and Wei Kang naturally paid attention to it.
Then he was surprised to find that the sales of antihypertensive drugs launched by Sanqing were soaring at a rocket-like speed.
After thinking about it for a moment, it suddenly dawned on me.
"Is this a friend of mine getting beaten up, but the meat ended up in my bowl?"
"Hahaha, then I don't mind if you beat me a little more fiercely."
He browsed the comments on the hot search with interest.
A family member of a patient who was crying and live broadcasting a compensation lawsuit instantly attracted his attention.
“We are from rural areas and cannot afford imported medicines. However, my dad has diabetes and other co-morbidities. The doctor said that only this imported medicine is the most effective, so he has been saving money and dieting so that my dad can take imported medicines. "
"I didn't expect that after taking it for seven or eight years, I found out that I had lung cancer during my recent check-up. My dad really has a hard life."
"Our family can no longer afford to treat cancer, so we can only fight the lawsuit while undergoing treatment. We hope to receive compensation as soon as possible, which can at least cover the cost of treatment for lung cancer."
"I have prepared sufficient evidence and will definitely win this lawsuit. Everyone is waiting for my good news."
"There are still many kind-hearted people online. A lawyer came to me and said he could provide free legal aid. I am really grateful to him."
"The case has been filed. I will describe the entire lawsuit process in detail to serve as a reference for those who come after me."
"I received a call from Sanofi, saying that they wanted to mediate first and promised to provide a certain amount of compensation. What do you think?"
"Should I accept the compensation and cure my dad's illness first, or continue the lawsuit?"
"Compensation is secondary. The main thing is that I have to make them admit their mistakes, recall the problematic drugs, and then apologize to patients across the country."
Wei Kang clicked in and found that the comments were almost overwhelmingly persuasive. They all said that if he refused to mediate, he must win the lawsuit and force the other party to admit his fault and compensate.
But the person involved was obviously hesitant.
It was obvious that his financial situation was very poor, and his father's lung cancer treatment cost was very heavy. Getting a sum of money through out-of-court mediation and curing his father's disease as soon as possible was a top priority for him.
Wei Kang was also moved by it and felt a trace of compassion.
The patient is really pitiful, and there is nothing wrong with asking for treatment first.
There is no reason for others to ask him to give up his father's treatment for the needs of other patients.
But since the incident broke out, he is the only problem case that has emerged.
If it really gives up the prosecution for the sake of treating the disease, Sanofi's attempt to calm the matter will succeed.
The recall of problematic antihypertensive drugs will definitely end in vain, and the ongoing public opinion offensive will be in vain.
Wei Kang pondered for a moment, then immediately issued an announcement and @tagged the patient’s family.
"I feel sorry for your experience, but with Sanqing here, you don't have to worry. We can provide anti-cancer drugs for free as a charity gift. I hope you can stick to it, live up to your original intention, and strive for justice for all patients. Let justice never be late.”
The client is hesitating. While he wants to get the mediation money as soon as possible and treat his father's lung cancer as soon as possible, he also feels guilty. He feels that he just jumped out and was bribed in the blink of an eye. He really can't help but suffer from the problem for more than ten years. Medicine patients.
When I suddenly saw the news about Wei Kang, I was overjoyed. I quickly forwarded it and replied: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your kindness. I will never forget it. I will definitely insist on the lawsuit and seek justice for everyone as soon as possible."
Netizens who were watching were overjoyed and liked it one after another. They were also happy for the person involved.
"That's great. Now I don't have to worry about anything anymore. I will definitely win this lawsuit."
"Damn it, I was almost bribed. Fortunately, Sanqing stepped forward."
"Sanqing still has a conscience and deserves to be a national enterprise."
"There is really nothing to say about President Wei's great love. Without further ado, I will donate to the Sanqing Charity Foundation."
"Do charity and follow the steps of the Sanqing Dynasty, only then can you seek benevolence and gain benevolence!"
Wei Kang smiled slightly and sent another message.
"Every pharmaceutical company should be responsible for its own drugs. Since problematic drugs can be recalled abroad, they must also be recalled domestically. Double standards are absolutely not advisable!"
“If any patient develops cancer due to faulty antihypertensive drugs, Sanqing Group is willing to give away the drugs for free and do its modest part to support patients’ rights protection.”
These words instantly created another wave of good impressions for Sanqing, and the popularity skyrocketed.
He did not specifically mention Sanqing’s antihypertensive drugs, but from now on, when most hypertensive patients think of changing medications, Sanqing’s name will definitely come to mind first.
As for the recall of problematic antihypertensive drugs, thanks to the support of Sanqing Group, other domestic pharmaceutical companies, as well as experts and scholars in the pharmaceutical industry, have spoken in support, saying that 'double standards are never advisable, and problematic drugs must be recalled in accordance with the law.'
Previously, it was patients and passers-by who spoke. Although it was popular, it was not authoritative.
Now, the entire pharmaceutical industry is supporting the cause.
Suddenly, countless pressures came from all directions.
Sanofi is in the center of the whirlpool, just like sitting on a pressure cooker that is emitting white smoke. If it is not careful, it will be blown up to the sky, shattered to pieces, and ruined.
