Chapter 106 Making Compound Medicine Inspiration
Chen Xia has already thought that if the pharmaceutical factory can handle it smoothly, he will take advantage of the advantages of the space pharmacy to produce some "compound medicines" with the least difficulty.
The so-called "compound prescription" refers to a mixture of two or more drugs, which can be Chinese medicine, Western medicine or a mixture of Chinese and Western medicine. "One prescription" is a medicinal preparation.
The production is very simple and it is a bit confusing. Chen Xia Space Hospital has ready-made Western medicines, so it will be OK to add a few Chinese medicines at that time.
For example, using "compound licorice tablets" as an example, based on the medicinal material for treating cough with one prescription, plus more than two auxiliary medicinal materials.
There are all Chinese and Western medicines in it. The ingredients on the instructions include licorice flow extract, opioid, camphor, star anise oil, sodium benzoate, etc.
Licorice flow extract, opioid, camphor, and star anise oil are Chinese patent medicines, and sodium benzoate is a Western medicine.
For example, the commonly used drug for cold treatment, "Gankang" is composed of acetaminophen, adamantine hydrochloride, artificial beef, caffeine, chlorphenamine maleate and other ingredients.
In it, acetaminophen, adamantamantine hydrochloride, and chlorphenamine maleate are authentic Western medicines, while artificial beef is a Chinese patent medicine.
As for whether these compound medicines are the ingredients of Chinese medicine or Western medicine in the end? There are many different opinions anyway.
Later generations, both "anti-Traditional Chinese Medicine" and "Traditional Chinese Medicine Fans" fought fiercely, and each made sense. Of course, the final argument often turned into personal attacks.
Chen Xia's attitude is that traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine are effective, and the traditional medicine of thousands of years cannot be simply summarized by "witchcraft".
But there is a prerequisite for whether there is any effect, that is, "real Chinese medicine, real Chinese medicine."
In his previous life, countless people used traditional Chinese medicine to cheat money, including many Chinese medicine practitioners in public hospitals. They made traditional Chinese medicine like "magic medicines", which was simply a cure for all diseases.
There is a hidden rule in the medical system. The more you talk about it, the more likely you are to be a liar.
This kind of scammer is not only in the world, but also in the temple. The one who gets kickbacks is definitely not Western medicine, but inconspicuous Chinese medicine doctors.
Of course this is only a part of it. Most Chinese doctors are still good and cannot be beaten to death with one stick. (The author has a strong desire to survive)
And the dark side behind Chinese medicine is simply too numerous to write.
What are the best things to use inferior things to be good, fake things to be real, soaking herbs with chemical substances, spraying a large number of pesticides, exceeding the standard for heavy metals, and the price of stir-frying high-school herbs, etc., making the traditional Chinese medicine market as credit bankrupt as the antique market.
Therefore, Chen Xia did not oppose traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life. On the contrary, he believed that the reason why traditional Chinese medicine would eventually disappear was not the "anti-Traditional Chinese medicine" group of people, but rather some people who are engaged in the traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine industry.
What they did had exceeded the bottom line, and they didn't even talk about human nature for money, and eventually ruined this traditional medicine.
However, in 1981, these problems did not exist. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were both virtuous and skillful, and traditional Chinese medicine was naturally grown, so the efficacy was still certain. The "anti-Traditional Medicine Army" was still in the womb.
Moreover, in 1981, because the entire country had just stepped on the right track of reform and opening up, drug supervision in all aspects was not so strict, and there were still many shortcuts to take.
So Chen Xia wanted to run a pharmaceutical factory, but the process was not complicated. For example, the source of the drug prescription, Chen Xia could send the Fourth Hospital to the water and let the credit of the Fourth Hospital be guaranteed.
In the 1980s, there were few domestic pharmaceutical factories, and it was inconvenient for hospitals to get medicine, or the director of the pharmacy department was incompetent and could not get medicine. Therefore, domestic hospitals generally had a "preparation room".
Some common medicines that are not complicated can be produced and prepared by the hospital preparation room and then sold to patients, which is cheap and affordable.
This not only solves the tension of drug purchase, but also allows patients to save some money. The efficacy is always there, but after all, it is not formal and has caused many problems. Later, the country did not allow it.
Chen Xia was going to go to the hospital's preparation room and searched for a few prescriptions. After "careful research" by Chen Xia Pharmaceutical Factory, a new drug can be produced.
Of course, the ingredients are also Chinese medicine + Western medicine. As for which ingredient is more effective? What does this matter with Chen Xia?
Is it important to make money in a route battle?
As for the approval of pharmaceutical factories, the Food and Drug Administration has not yet been as complicated and rigorous as it did in later generations.
For a drug application, you need to come up with a preparation prescription and production process, qualitative identification, content determination, stability test, quality standards, pharmacodynamics, pharmacology, pharmacology, pharmacology, acute toxicity, long-term toxicity, special toxicity, local drug toxicity, allergy test, irritation test and drug dependence test, etc.
In the 1980s, we did not pay attention to drugs, both theoretical and clinical experiments, and we refer to the hospital's homemade medicines.
At that time, as long as the Health Bureau, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau approves, and the Tax Bureau registers. Disagree? Why? Farmers want to run a village factory to serve the four modernizations, but you don’t approve it?
As for whether the drug is effective? What are the side effects? Chen Xia is not worried about these things.
It’s not that he doesn’t pay attention to the safety of drugs, but that the drugs he wants to take out from the space, which one has not been strictly approved by the Drug Administration for Later generations, and after years of clinical application, the remaining classic drugs after the big waves washed away the sand?
These drugs have ready-made instructions, and Chen Xia can copy them by then, and they will definitely be safe and effective.
What makes Chen Xia the most headache now is not the approval process. Since he wants to run a pharmaceutical factory, what should he do without a machine? Workers can be trained, engineers can hire externally, and raw materials can be cheated by themselves, but this machine is difficult to deal with.
He has no foreign exchange, so it is impossible to import it from abroad, and 150,000 yuan in his pocket is not enough to see it.
The foreigners are so smart that they have long raised the price, and the maintenance costs will be a sky-high price in the future, which is not something that a village factory can afford.
Chen Xia was not in a hurry. It would be a day or two to start a factory. In such a general environment, it would be no big problem to start a factory one or two years later. It would be really not possible. It would be too late until the private company could start a factory.
After the Chinese New Year, the school season has arrived. Chen Chun and three other female college students have returned to school.
One morning, Chen Xia received a call from her elder sister.
"Oh, registration will start tomorrow? I want to be there in person? Okay, then I'll come here tomorrow."
The correspondence college class of Zhijiang Medical University in the provincial capital has started to register. Chen Chun went to inquire in advance and learned that he would have to be there, so he called Chen Xia to come over as soon as possible.
Chen Xia thought that there was not much work in the General Affairs Department recently, so she could go to the provincial capital to visit Xu Rui and Xu Yuan.
