Chapter 1770 Safety of Drugs (Flowers, Subscriptions)

Zou Jiadong continued: "This is not counting, the state has also clearly stipulated that traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical companies can not indicate the ingredients of drugs in some product instructions, which brings a serious problem, if the doctor is not clear about the composition of the drug, he is not clear about the side effects of the drug, if the doctor is not clear about the side effects of the drug, the consequences will be terrible. The main reason why drugs such as gentian laxative liver pills cause a large number of patients to suffer from kidney disease and even uremia is that the Guan Mu Tong in the medicine contains aristolochic acid, which is the culprit of kidney disease. ”

Wang Lao said: "What are our relevant management departments doing? Why are pharmaceutical companies allowed to do this? Isn't this a blatant disregard for human life? I use several Western medicines, such as aspirin, amoxicillin, enalapril, metformin, etc., whether it is the ingredients of the drug, or the toxic side effects, are clearly marked, and the dosage is accurate to the milligram level. ”

"Two days ago, I heard that the Hong Kong Department of Health found that Yunnan black medicine contained a highly toxic ingredient aconitine, and ordered it to be removed from the shelves. Why do you do such a hurtful thing? Li Lao said puzzled.

Zou Jiadong said: "I also have a news, in fact, this is not news, in recent years, because of the toxic ingredients contained in Chinese patent medicine and the doping of Western medicine ingredients in Chinese patent medicine, the Department of Health in Hong Kong and Macao has seized nearly 100 traditional medicines, including many well-known products of famous time-honored pharmaceutical companies, such as the Baifeng Pill of the time-honored brand Renjitang in Beijing, the Dragon Liver Diarrhea Pill of the Beijing Tongrentang Wubao Pill of the Rejuvenation Hall, the Liushen Pill of Minjitang and so on. ”

"As the saying goes, medicine is poisonous, not only Chinese medicine is toxic, but Western medicine also seems to have side effects, right?" Zeng Sheng asked.

Zou Jiadong said: "It is true that Western medicine has side effects, but it has been clearly labeled, and doctors and patients can rest assured that they can prescribe and use drugs according to the drug instructions." Since TCM does not label any side effects and does not label the ingredients, patients are easily harmed by taking the medicine in a confused way, which is the biggest difference between the two. ”

Lu Lao said: "I don't understand, isn't it just to mark the adverse reactions and contraindications on the instructions?" Why don't these pharmaceutical companies do such a simple thing? ”

Zou Jiadong said: "Lu Lao, you are wrong, it is not simple to label adverse reactions and contraindications, which needs to be verified and clinically tested for more than ten years or even decades, and various accurate data can be obtained. ”

"Drugs are not food, related to the health of millions of people, no matter how long the research and development time, in the absence of accurate data, it should not be put into production, our pharmaceutical companies, should learn from the scientific spirit of others, and adopt the scientific practices of others, to provide excellent quality drugs for the health of the people." Lu Lao said.

Zou Jiadong said: "Our pharmaceutical companies not only lack basic scientific literacy, but also lack the spirit of humanistic care, in their eyes only money, they will not spend money for the health of the people." ”

"How much can this cost? Besides, isn't it clear which is more important, health or money? Lu Lao said.

Zou Jiadong said: "Lu Lao, you are wrong again, the development of Western medicine is not only time-consuming and laborious, it takes several years, more than ten years or even decades, and the money spent is astronomical, the research and development cost of a 'aspirin' has reached nearly 10 billion meters, and the research and development cost of penicillin has also reached billions of meters. ”

After listening to Zou Jiadong's introduction, Lu Lao was surprised: "Ah! No wonder there are no new drugs in our country, and pharmaceutical companies are looking for prescriptions from the ancients, because they are afraid of spending money? This is a shortcut, you don't need to invest much in research and development, get a prescription, set up a factory, find a few workers, and you can start producing drugs. The problem is that in this way, the quality and safety of drugs are difficult to guarantee. ”

Zou Jiadong asked Elder Wang: "Elder Wang, where do you have Western medicines such as aspirin, enalapril, metformin, etc.?" ”

Wang Lao explained: "When you are older, there are many problems. I suffered from high blood pressure very early, blood sugar is not normal, I heard that Chinese medicine can treat incurable diseases, I am a young old Chinese medicine doctor, I have also taken a lot of Chinese medicine, but there is no effect at all, later in Jinghua Hospital, I followed the advice of an old Chinese medicine doctor surnamed Zhang, after taking enalapril metformin and other Western drugs for a period of time, my blood pressure and blood sugar not only dropped to a normal level, but also kept relatively stable, therefore, these drugs have become my essential medicines. ”

"What about aspirin? Do you also use it often? Zou Jiadong asked.

Wang Lao said: "To be honest, if you have a headache, brain fever, cold and fever, it is still the best Western medicine to work well, and the effect is fast, just a few days." It takes at least a week to treat with our Chinese medicine, and often ten days and a half months will not get better, so I usually like to take Western medicine. ”

Zou Jiadong said: "Elder Wang, in fact, because our human body itself has a strong self-healing ability, therefore, there is no need to take medicine for common colds, as long as you pay attention to rest and properly replenish water, you will be fine for about a week, at most ten days and a half months." ”

"Oh, you mean, it's not much use to take those Chinese herbal products when you have a cold?" Elder Wang asked.

The distant ghost Sun Shumo coldly didn't

Zou Jiadong said: "Whether the medicine for treating a cold is useful, we must first figure out what the cause of the cold is, and then take the medicine according to the cause to implement the treatment, which is what we usually call 'the right medicine'." The common cold, also known as upper respiratory tract infections, is mainly caused by viruses and bacteria. Whether the drug has an effect, whether the main chemical substances can inhibit or kill the virus or bacteria that cause colds, Western medicine has been clinically verified by long-term and a large number of animal experiments, and has proved that it has this effect. And Chinese medicine has not gone through this link, they don't even know the basic chemical components of the medicine, how do they know that Chinese medicine can treat colds? Therefore, when you have a cold, it takes more than a week to get better with or without taking Chinese medicine, which is the reason. ”
