Chapter 935: A Sweep of Drugs of All Grades!
Not to mention 2025, even ten years ago in 2015, penicillin was rarely used in major hospitals to help patients with injections. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason for this is not that penicillin is not effective.
In fact, it's because hospitals use it and don't make money!
Doctors often joke that you all use high-grade cephalosporin when you are sick. However, it is very common for us or our family members to use the cheapest penicillin when we are sick.
Because, the price of antibiotics such as cephalosporin III is high, and hospitals can make a lot of money by prescribing these drugs. Penicillins are cheap, and hospitals don't make much profit.
In a modern society where everything is focused on money, hehe, that is, it is easy to think about why doctors do this.
In the Ming Dynasty, the drug resistance of the virus was basically equal to none. Zhu Zilong naturally couldn't buy high-priced antibiotics such as cephalosporin III and go back in large quantities. Their effect was almost the same as penicillin and so on for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Only a fool will not use penicillin, etc., and in turn, he will use antibiotics such as cephalosporin III!
Of course, in addition to the above, Zhu Zilong was most needed by the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the pesticides and medicines for common diseases were naturally indispensable. It used to be a small amount of purchases, but now, it's a massive purchase.
All kinds of medical devices are also necessary, whether they are general or professional, and they are purchased in large quantities. What X-ray machines, surgical instruments, incubators, sterilization cabinets, phosphor screens, cystoscopes...... Naturally, you can stand back and wait until some people will use it. Buy the past again!
Just as low-end drugs are concerned, the sulfonamides and penicillins purchased by Zhu Zilong are enough to fight World War II a few times!
This doesn't cost much, mainly modern medicines, which are really the price of cabbage. Such a massive purchase is actually only a few hundred million yuan, and for Zhu Zilong, it is completely drizzle!
And for the key points to pay attention to, the plague and the alternative Black Death have broken out in the capital of Daming!
Zhu Zilong is even more attentive!
Turning his head, he began to buy streptomycin and gentamicin in large quantities. Tetracycline, fluoroquinolone or chloramphenicol, doxycycline, ciprofloxacin and other drugs are all specific drugs for prevention and onset.
After Yersinia pestis invades the human body, it occasionally forms local skin lesions, forming the so-called plague pustules in folklore, but generally leaves no traces. In severe cases, pathogenic bacteria invade the blood circulation, causing systemic infections and becoming secondary sepsis.
The case fatality rate of bubonic plague can be as high as 50%~90%, the case fatality rate of pneumonic plague can be as high as 70%~100%, and the case fatality rate of septicaemic plague can be as high as 100%.
You have to be well prepared for this.
Fortunately, there are modern medicines, otherwise, Zhu Zilong would have to take Zhu Jiajun and run away!
Of course, curing is only an afterthought.
The prevention of plague and the formation of good habits are what Zhu Zilong wants in the future.
1. The most important thing is to avoid flea bites, 2. If it is in an endemic area, remove all rodents or fleas that may carry the disease, or vaccinate. 3. Ships or warehouses from epidemic areas must be rodent-proof, rodent-exterminating and flea controlling.
For patients who have been recruited, the effect can be significant if they are treated with modern drugs for 10 days or until 2 days after the fever has subsided.
In China, the second pandemic of Wanli and Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty is believed to have been part of this global pandemic.
It is estimated that the total number of deaths in the three provinces of North China has reached at least 10 million. The plague of heaven and the sun and the evening of death.
And in one night the people fled, and the city was empty." "Die at dawn and evening", "The family is dead".
This is a big battle, a big battle between people and germs.
If there is no modern medicine, to be honest, with the scientific and technological level of the Ming Dynasty, even Zhu Zilong would have nothing to do.
After all, you knew that this medicine could be cured, but under the conditions at the time, it was impossible to make it, or it could not be produced on a large scale. It's all in vain!
Every time he thought of this, Zhu Zilong couldn't help but shudder.
As a time-traveler, look at some of the time-traveling protagonists written in novels, who never seem to be bothered by ancient epidemics.
Honestly, that's not scientific at all.
Ancient medicine was underdeveloped, life was not clean, environmental sanitation was limited, and it can be said that various epidemics broke out frequently. It's just how many people die each time!
The ancients, a cold could kill someone!
That kind of novel, where the protagonist only cares about fighting or farming, but doesn't care much about the medicine of the ancients, is simply shrimp.
Bacteria will teach you to be a human being in minutes, so that your little brothers and the people under your rule will die light.

After Zhu Zilong bought the cheap and low-end drugs he wanted in China, he naturally would not let go of the mid-to-high-end drugs.
Unfortunately, this kind of drug, because of patents, markets, and national conditions, China also has it, but the price of the drug is high. So, in line with Zhu Zilong, who was going to go to Ah Sanguo to see his son born anyway, he went back to Ah Sanguo and turned to buy mid-to-high-end copycat medicines.
Even before, he had participated in the equity doping plans of a number of pharmaceutical companies in the three countries.
Nowadays, cases of cross-border drug purchasing accused of "selling counterfeit drugs" occur from time to time in China, and they are increasing day by day.
However, a review of public reports shows that the so-called "counterfeit drugs" purchased on behalf of the company are actually legal "real drugs" that have been approved in India, but have not obtained an approved import license from the relevant Chinese authorities.
According to the relevant provisions of the Drug Administration Law of the People's Republic of China implemented in December 2001, the import of drugs must be reviewed by the ****** drug regulatory department, and the import can only be approved if it is confirmed to meet the quality standards and is safe and effective.
and issue a registration certificate for imported drugs; Those that are produced or imported without approval shall be punished as counterfeit drugs.
Although it is against the risk of "fake medicine", it still cannot stop the Chinese impulse to buy drugs overseas, because the price is too tempting.
Taking "Gleevec" for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia as an example, the "real drug" of the Swiss company Novartis is sold at about 23,000 yuan per box in Chinese mainland, while the price of "Indian Gleevec" per box is now only 200 yuan.
It is equivalent to one percent of the same imported medicine, and under normal circumstances, a box of medicine is taken for about 1 month.
Everyone is a patient, who doesn't want to live?
However, 90% of the population is poor. With limited money, you can survive by buying a half-cottage high-end real medicine here in Ah San.
If you buy it elsewhere, you can only wait for death.
Whoever else will come to Argentina to buy medicine.
No, even the people of the United States imperialism who keep saying that they want to vigorously protect patents. Over the years, more and more people have come to the three countries to buy medicines!
This is the red xx reality!
In terms of the high social welfare of US imperialism, for example, a total of 130 million people in the world suffer from hepatitis C. If left untreated, that liver disease can kill people.
The U.S. biopharmaceutical company Gilead, which launched sofosbuvir in 2013, can actually cure hepatitis C.
However, it is very expensive: the drug, which is prescribed by doctors in the United States under the trade names Sovaldi and Harvoni, costs $84,000 for a 12-week course; With the addition of other drugs, the cost of treatment is higher.
But in India, a 12-week course of treatment with a non-original drug costs only $500.
You are numb, the comparison between 80,000 US dollars and 500 US dollars, one is to abide by the law and wait for death, and the other is to go to the three countries of Afghanistan to buy medicine and survive, even the Americans can't resist.
