When Wei Kang first saw the FDA ban notice, he was completely confused.

What the hell?

I haven’t applied to the FDA yet?

Why did you ban my medicine first?

In order to prevent the abuse of painkillers, hasn't your FDA always encouraged the development and marketing of non-opioid painkillers?

What's going on with this duplicity? It's indeed a well-known double standard.

At first, he thought that foreign pharmaceutical giants were secretly obstructing it. After all, the market for painkillers was so huge that it was normal and reasonable for this kind of attack on competitors to happen.

However, when he saw Du Cheng's clinical trial report on drug treatment, he suddenly understood and came back to his senses.

"Haha, then give up the Eagle Country painkiller market. You asked for this."

The only country in the world where opioid painkillers are abused is because doctors are prescribing painkillers for any disease in order to make money.

Other countries have stricter controls in this regard, so the abuse is not serious and there is a huge demand for non-addictive analgesics.

Just like Gaul in Europe, it is the country with the lowest consumption of severe opioids. It is not easy for patients to obtain these drugs. All opioids have long been banned from free sale and can only be used with prescriptions, and the prescriptions for severe opioids are valid for

Only 28 days.

Some Gauls are even resorting to forging prescriptions or ordering them online to get the dosage of painkillers they want. Studies show that more and more people are actually harming small animals to get these opioids from veterinarians

.

The drug regulatory agencies of the European countries are obviously relatively clear-headed, and it is only in the strange Eagle country that addictive painkillers are rampant.

These countries have strong demand for non-addictive analgesics, and the market is large enough. Sanqing's new analgesics will certainly not be bad in sales.

Overall, in the global pharmaceutical product market, Eagle Country accounts for 40% of the market share, Europa accounts for 22%, Sakura Country accounts for 8%, while China accounts for 20% of the global market share, and other countries together account for the remaining 10%.

Although it is a pity to give up the largest market in Eagle Country, other global market shares also account for 50%.

Europa, in particular, is the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world, and its relationship with Eagle Country is relatively subtle.

Faced with the strong demand for painkillers, it is hard to say whether they will pay the FDA's bill.

When Wei Kang thought about it this way, he didn't mind too much about the lost Eagle Country market.

Moreover, this time, in order to open up the markets in Europe and other countries as soon as possible, he decided not to sell high prices overseas.

Although the price will still be more expensive than in China, compared with anti-cancer drugs and the like, the price gap is already very small.

This is because the medical system in Europa is completely different from that in Eagle Country.

Most developed countries in Europe have free medical care systems, and in most cases the government finances foot the bill.

In this case, the drug price of the pharmaceutical company will be an important consideration. If the price is too high, it will obviously be difficult to enter the free medical system and will only be sought after by wealthy patients in private hospitals.

Free medical care sounds beautiful, but in reality there are many unsatisfactory qualities. The biggest problem is that medical resources are extremely polarized.

Just like the Germanic countries, their free medical care is indeed free, but different levels of medical resources have been split, with public social security on one side and private commercial insurance on the other.

There is no doubt that the best doctors in various fields have actively gathered on the side of private insurance.

Many patients have reported that when they make an appointment with a doctor's clinic with the best reputation in a certain field by phone, the first answer they get is that the fastest appointment is already half a year or even a year away.

Got a consultation appointment for a week later.

Not to mention those famous celebrity doctors, their clinics even explicitly stipulate that they only accept patients with private insurance.

In this case, patients go to private hospitals to get the best and latest drugs, while going to public hospitals can only get inferior cheaper drugs.

Therefore, for painkillers, Wei Kang plans to follow the route of small profits but quick turnover, which can greatly recover the loss of the Eagle Country market and at the same time seize the market for painkillers as soon as possible.

And when the whole world uses Sanqing's pain relief, patients in Eagle Country can only pitifully endure the ravages of opioids. What will they think when they see this situation?

No matter what they think, it's none of Wei Kang's business anyway.

In Germany, the Charlotte Medical School of Berlin University is the largest and best hospital in Europe, and it is also ranked among the top five in the world.

The hospital has a history of more than 300 years. More than half of the German Nobel Prize winners in medicine are from here. It can be called the Tarzan of the German medical community.

Hassmann, the director of the Department of Neurology, happily convened a meeting with a group of subordinate doctors.

"Look at this issue of The Lancet and the scientific journal Translational Medicine. They all have clinical trial reports on a non-addictive analgesic."

"The clinical reporting data are perfect and this is the Holy Grail of painkillers we want, and our patients who suffer from all kinds of neuropathic pain need this painkiller."

A doctor raised his hand: "We can contact the manufacturer of this drug for clinical cooperation, and they will definitely agree."

Hasman nodded: "Very good, this task is left to you."

"Hopefully, this drug has started to apply for approval from the European Medicines Agency, so that we can see its miraculous effects in Germany soon."

A doctor hesitated and said: "I heard that the FDA seems to have banned the sale of this drug due to uncertainty about its addictive properties."

Hassman's eyes widened angrily, and he shook his gray beard: "What does the FDA have to do with us? Everyone, you are all medical experts. You have to rely on clinical data to speak, don't follow what others say, especially don't listen to the opinions of bureaucrats. Okay,

My children, get to work quickly."

The same scene happened in well-known hospitals in Gaul, Bull and other countries.

There is no room for the FDA to dictate here, so experts in the medical circle are gearing up and eager to try it. They want to get this magical painkiller as soon as possible and try it on patients.

The overseas branch of Sanqing also quickly submitted a centralized review application for drugs to the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

As long as it passes the centralized review of this scientific review committee, painkillers will be able to be marketed in European countries.

EMA was very interested in the opioid painkiller replacement program and it was quickly expedited.

Hassman got his wish and used this painkiller on clinical patients.

The magical effect made him pull his beard straight away.

"Sure enough, the effect is the same as what was written in the paper, which is shocking!"

He quickly started using this medicine on his patients with chronic neuropathic pain and received unanimous praise.

So, with a mixture of surprises and emotions, a eloquent paper flew to top medical journals such as The Lancet.

A more lively discussion soon arose.

Because this is the first clinical paper on painkillers by overseas medical experts.

Unlike several previously published papers, all of which were by doctors from China, they are not as authoritative as Hussman.

When the global medical community saw Hussman's paper, they were completely convinced of the clinical effectiveness of Sanqing analgesics.

With the publication of clinical papers from other top hospitals in Europe, everyone's last doubts about the new painkiller have disappeared.

The doctors in Eagle Country are angry inside at this time. They are not stupid. They have seen the truth hidden under the high-sounding excuses of the FDA.

Therefore, doctors made their own choices after communicating in professional doctor communities on the Internet.

The Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Johns Hopkins Hospital have all sent applications for clinical cooperation projects to top hospitals in China.

Haishi, Ruiji Hospital.

Jian Guohua looked at the email on his computer with an expression of shock and disbelief.

"What? The director of the oncology department of the Mayo Clinic wants to bring a team over for exchanges? They also hope to reach long-term cooperation. If appropriate, they also want to introduce some patients to Ruiji Hospital for treatment?"

"Didn't we introduce patients to Mayo in the past? For some difficult and complicated diseases, if patients want to go abroad for treatment, I should help them contact people at Mayo."

"Why is it the other way around this time? I really can't understand."

When doctors from the Mayo Clinic arrived in Haishi, Jian Guohua looked at the team of more than a dozen people and was instantly stunned.

"Am I dazzled? In addition to the director of the oncology department, there is also the director of the neurology department. There are a few others I can't recognize, but they look familiar. I must have met them at some medical industry conference."

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they quickly got down to business.

Only then did Jian Guohua find out that it turned out that because Sanqing's painkillers were banned in Eagle Country, all major hospitals in Eagle Country sent people to China for friendly exchanges and to deepen clinical cooperation.

The most important thing is that many patients with chronic diseases have long-term pain problems, and they are in great need of the treatment of Sanqing analgesic.

The two parties quickly reached a friendly cooperation, and the Mayo Clinic returned home satisfied.

Eagle Country, Cleveland Clinic.

Dr. Joseph looked at the patient in front of him, frowned and remained silent.

The patient panicked: "Dear Joseph, old man, what's wrong with you? Has my condition gotten worse?"

Joseph shook his head: "I can't prescribe you any more painkillers. If you continue to take them, you might become addicted. I've been an old friend for many years, and I can't watch you jump into the fire pit."

The patient suddenly became anxious: "No, please give me some more painkillers. I need them for my headache, otherwise I won't be able to work and live at all. You don't want to see me lose my job and become a homeless person."

Joseph's face showed a look of struggle, and he said after a while: "Old friend, do you have any vacation plans recently?"

A bright smile appeared on the patient's face: "Hey, how did you know that I recently took a month's leave? By the way, it must be because summer is coming. Our vacation is about to start. Let me tell you, I plan to go to the beach to have a good time.

Stay for a month and get a nice tan before coming back."

Joseph said solemnly: "Don't go to the seaside. Go to China. Only there is the panacea that can relieve you of pain. I just hope you haven't booked a flight or hotel yet, otherwise you will suffer great losses."

The patient looked shocked and said: "Oh my god, why can't I understand what you said?"
