"Blacklist" involving more than 5,000 kinds of drugs
The draft has issued four basic principles of naming, including "to avoid hinting, exaggerate the efficacy of" the provisions of the provisions of proprietary Chinese medicine must not contain "hypoglycemic, antihypertensive, lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory, cancer" and other words, because these words are " Give the patient a presumptuous name of the drug about pharmacology, anatomy, physiology, pathology, or therapeutics "and should not use exaggerated, self-proclaimed, unrealistic terms such as" treasure " Strong "" quick "and so on, and the name contains" imperial system "" secret system "and so on are also included in the name of" blacklist "proprietary Chinese medicine.
What is the scope of the "blacklist"? In the State Food and Drug Administration drug database domestic drug column, respectively, the words of the input, can be roughly retrieved to 5326 drug approval. Among them, the light name contains "spirit" word involves a 2349 approval. This figure does not contain the number of proprietary Chinese medicines to be renamed in accordance with the principles of "scientific rationality, avoidance of duplication" and "generally not using names, place names, name of business"
Will be part of the drug into the "blacklist" at the same time, in order to reflect the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, the guiding principle also specifically pointed out that the traditional cultural characteristics of Chinese medicine prescription is named one of the cultural characteristics of Chinese medicine, therefore, Learn from the ancient side of the concept of the full combination of the advantages of aesthetic concepts, so that the name of proprietary Chinese medicine is scientific and standardized, but also reflects the traditional Chinese culture.
Yupingfeng powder, Yuquan pills and other drug names are listed as typical cases. Guiding principle pointed out that the Yupingfeng scattered "screen" word, take its solid Wei Shen table, against the evil (wind) meaning. To screen the body against the outside world of the barrier, the image of the interpretation of this side of the treatment of virtual self-sweating table special features, and both rich traditional culture, reflecting the characteristics of Chinese image thinking. Yuquan pills, there is Qi Qi Yin, heat Sheng Jin effect, "Yuquan" for the reputation of spring water, Taoism also refers to the mouth of the next two veins of the body fluid. With the number of Ziyin Runzao, Yi Sheng Sheng Jin of the product side, the service can make Yin Jin was charged, the body fluid back, mouth Jinjin often Run, like Yuquan water, a steady stream, hence the name Yuquan pills. This drug name reflects the ancient Chinese academic faction thought (Taoist), contains the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture.
Specification of proprietary Chinese medicine name is imminent
Renamed the storm caused by the first controversial focus is the need for the naming of proprietary Chinese medicine. In this regard, the industry said that the new drug name does need to regulate.
Jiangxi Province, Xinyu City, Yu Shui District Food and Drug Administration Liao Haijin that in recent years, the name of proprietary Chinese medicine is indeed some confusion, exaggerated naming can be described as chaos frequently, especially the existence of some pharmaceutical companies to use drugs to exaggerate the efficacy of misleading consumption The behavior of the drug, there are problems such as drug re-name and false propaganda.
Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine doctoral tutor Zhang Bing example of Chinese medicine named exaggerated efficacy, "such as sweeping the light cream, the effect of swelling, itching, pain, for children with fetal toxicity, eczema, yellow sores and scabies disease , The composition of minerals, but also contains a certain toxic ingredients. The name is very attractive, but it may make everyone only focus on efficacy, ignoring the ointment of liver and kidney damage caused by the problem without abuse. "She believes that the introduction of guidelines for Some of the misleading proprietary Chinese medicines are binding.
Article 16 of the Advertising Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that medical, pharmaceutical and medical device advertisements shall not contain assertions or warranties indicating efficacy and safety, and can not be compared with the efficacy and safety of other drugs, medical devices or other medical institutions The According to this, Liao Haijin that the drug name is not directly belong to the ad, but its influence is greater than the advertising, can refer to the "advertising law" to manage, the name of proprietary Chinese medicine really need to use a rule to chaos.
Some of the famous Chinese medicine is extremely exaggerated, its products are mixed, especially in the health care market demand is growing in the context of the formation of vicious competition, the healthy long-term development of Chinese medicine harmless "The name contains 'spirit' word medicine has more than 2000, it is quite a mixed bag, but will exacerbate the community on traditional Chinese medicine 'boast' 'tricky' misunderstanding." Liao Hai said.
Experts believe that the traditional Chinese medicine industry in the market economy conditions, the rules of the system and supervision and management is lagging behind, exaggerated proprietary Chinese medicine named with the universal, no doubt with the lack of clear norms of proprietary Chinese medicine and the necessary review must be related. This time, the State Food and Drug Administration to develop "proprietary Chinese name generic technical guidelines", make up the regulatory short board, timely and must.
Traditional Chinese medicine should be carefully revised
More experts will look to the traditional Chinese medicine changed its name. National physician master Tang Zuxuan that the traditional Chinese medicine name with the Chinese cultural characteristics and the connotation of Chinese medicine, if not directly consider the change is not reasonable, but also not enough respect for traditional Chinese medicine and cultural heritage.
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Chinese medicine research group leader Chen Qiguang that proprietary Chinese medicine is based on Chinese herbal medicine as raw materials, processed by the processing of different formulations of finished products, is the ancient Chinese medicine practitioners after thousands of years of practice to create medicine, summed up the effective The essence of prescription. Traditional Chinese medicine named after the use of names, names and business names have a certain degree of rationality. He said, "There are names in the majority of Chinese medicine to invent the name of the inventor, this method is a substantial highlight of the rights and interests of the inventor of the respect; there are names, it is due to traditional Chinese medicine ' ', The origin of the drug into the name of the drug, is to reflect its authentic and reliable; in the production of similar Chinese medicine in the process, different enterprises due to historical traditions, regional humanities, mentoring inheritance and other relations may not take exactly the same Of the processing technology, the name of the enterprise as a part of the drug name, in essence, is the credibility of the enterprise for the pharmaceutical process and endorsement, so as to provide consumers with a reliable basis for selection.
Chen Qiguang also believes that pharmacological pharmacology, anatomy, pathology or therapeutics terminology is not directly equivalent to "implied" "exaggerated efficacy", "hypoglycemic, antihypertensive, lipid-lowering" and "anti-inflammatory" The direction of Western medicine, such as "verapamil" "heart rate" also has a similar name, if and "exaggerate the efficacy of" confused, is undoubtedly very strict.
Reporters interviewed a pharmacy, the staff that remove some of the old Chinese medicine, many other drugs rely on the purchase of the staff introduced, it will not easily believe that "fine" "treasure" must be immediate, a sensation.
In addition, many experts believe that the traditional Chinese medicine to make a name, will also bring some trouble to consumers to buy. Tang Zuxuan said that some have been widely accepted by the commonly used proprietary Chinese medicine and some old drugs has become an important symbol of the public awareness of proprietary Chinese medicine, unauthorized modification of the name will cause the public to understand the changes in Chinese medicine.
Zhao Lu Da is a sports enthusiasts, interested in the pain caused him to become "Yunnanbaiyao" loyal users. He told reporters that if the drug was renamed after a variety of channels through the publicity, he will understand and buy, but the occasional bruises of patients is likely to be renamed because the name can not find the necessary drugs. In addition, he also worried that if the "Yunnanbaiyao" re-registered trademark, whether it will face the appropriate alternative trademark has long been registered, cottage drugs may take the opportunity to fake and other issues, disrupt the consumer audio-visual, brand credibility to bring some impact.
Tong Ren Tang Chief Engineer Tian Ruihua said that the traditional Chinese medicine name not only contains historical accumulation, Chinese medicine culture and other connotations, but also involves the majority of patients with drug habits and awareness, "such as quick rescue, long-term users of his 'quick' have a certain "He told reporters, Tong Ren Tang need to rename the drugs at least 40 kinds of" afraid to rename the patient will be puzzled, that how to eat the medicine suddenly can not find. "
In this regard, many experts recommend that regulate the name of proprietary Chinese medicines, drugs can take the old way, the new drug new provisions of the way.
Tang Zuxuan that the norms of proprietary Chinese medicine name is necessary, correct, scientific, but the old medicine, new drugs to be treated differently, should be to protect, inherit and develop Chinese medicine as a foothold, through the standardization of the name of Chinese medicine in the retention of Chinese medicine Traditional cultural connotation at the same time, more scientific, accepted by the public, help the development of Chinese medicine.
Zhang Bing believes that consciously through the standardization of proprietary Chinese medicine to guide the safe use of drugs is a good thing, the current provisions are still seeking comments stage, for details and maneuverability also need to consider.
Practitioners for more than 40 years, the old drug workers Ding, such as emotion, traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, its name is after numerous generations of applications and inherited down, Chinese herbal medicine so, Chinese medicine group is so, each name which not only contains traditional Chinese medicine Its own meaning, but also represents the profound content of each group of traditional Chinese medicine. It is not advisable to revise the traditional Chinese medicine name, but there is indeed an exaggeration effect in the modern Chinese medicine, to induce the phenomenon of consumers, to hurt people's trust in Chinese medicine. "Therefore, the old medicine should be separated, It is the key to make mistakes and make sure the future is.
