explain

The retail price of two drugs are not exceeds the maximum limit, not illegal

As we have learned, current drugs are the highest retail prices by the price bureau, retail price does not allow exceeds the maximum limit. "Just below the country's top retail price, retailers can independently determine drug retail price."

Changsha food and drug administration a controller introduces, to determine the state drug retail price has three ways, the government pricing, government-guided prices and market regulation, at present are generally government pricing. He said: "the state provisions shall not exceed the highest retail price of a supreme retail price is lawful, more than the country's highest retail price will suffer some sanctions."

Changsha, also said an officer in charge of the bureau of the government pricing is drug by the development and reform commission and the bureau decided their experience, belongs to the medicare drug prices within the scope of government regulations to the highest price fixing in the highest price fixing, beyond within by certain penalties. File However, from the national price policy for less than 20% on the market at present the drug is by the state in a unified pricing. And from a market regulation of speaking, and no unified price regulation, drug prices can by operators set automatically. "At present, in changsha sales of wuhan ssangyong production to blue XiaoYanPian retail price of philips didn't exceed $29 / box, wide hair negotiable pharmaceutical production beings capsule retail price of more than 25 yuan/box didn't, so, the two kinds of medicine retail price does not exist illegal."

revelation

Manufacturers intentionally false cost run-up retail price fixing

A engaged in drug business insiders told reporters that a manufacturer, prices will raise by people.

Drugs are the highest retail prices by the price bureau. The professionals to wuhan ssangyong production to blue XiaoYanPian and philips negotiable pharmaceutical production beings as an example to reporters capsule tussle analysis. "Why actual ex-works only 3 yuan medicine retail prices highest for $29, because manufacturers in the local price departments to declare the highest retail prices intentionally when the high production costs will drugs Tribune, general situation is high quote 2 times or so, some even as high as five or six times."

The personage of the judge, wide hair negotiable pharmaceutical production beneath capsule to the local production cost of commodity price departments quoted below 15 yuan, "not this medicine is not otherwise, as the highest qualification will retail prices 25 yuan."

According to the analysis of this personage, wuhan ssangyong production to blue XiaoYanPian and guangdong toi of pharmaceutical production factory is actually a beneath capsule were "virtual high" for 17 and $10 or so.

Manufacturers why will purposely drug high production costs quote? This personage further revelation said, drug manufacturers often will do anything to downstream to create greater profit space, its purpose is to the production of drugs to market more big, the amount of go faster.

countermeasures

Lower drug prices and measures to promote medical cooperative

Drugstore retail price difference so big, unified market retail prices of pharmaceuticals have may? The reporter understands, currently responsible for drug retail institutions to basically have two kinds of forms, one is the pharmaceutical company, 2 is a man. Personal and not engaged in pharmaceutical sales of qualification, but it is undeniable that currently on the market a lot of drugs is a people are doing. Under normal circumstances, to facilitate the management of fixed in a region, manufacturers set a proxy, but this practice is often break, like other companies from outside the goods, individual through the relationship between tone with goods... Parties for wholesale channels, causing it to the different drug sales prices are different.

In recent years, changsha pitch in retail drug price competition already smoke rolling. A personage inside course of study says, because each company's sources, promotion means different, the same manufacturers such as the same kind of drug, drug retail price of agency to develop natural have discretion.

Changsha city official stressed that the bureau ordinary common drug could not formulate a unified price criteria, "now every pharmacy are market operation pattern, if uniform prices standards, became planned economy, intervention operation, conducive to development."

Located in the CiShanTang salty fine lake road boss ZhaoZhongCheng insist for a long time to parity file many times, and sell drug prices telltale by citizens insider tall empty legacy. At present, CiShanTang because the prey built tunnel across the road to move, although new CiShanTang still don't know where can open, but ZhaoZhongCheng told reporters he will always will parity to the end.

ZhaoZhongCheng said, even exclusive agent, to a single market of drug prices also is almost impossible. Actually, manufacturers also hope that prices can unify, facilitate management, and price confusion image of enterprise, go against detrimental to long-term development. "Supplier couldn't do drugstores Lord, how much do you sell supplier request the somebody else, the other party not listen, supplier couldn't, if make too stiff, the other party not to sell the goods, the supplier to the loss of suppliers for more big."

Zhao says, drug prices by many factors, such as market tensity, cost, and whether the new drugs and so on, sometimes some drug demand more nervous, prices are likely to rise. Meanwhile, drug warranty is also an important factor, the businessman will because some drug faster than shelf life and depreciate sales promotion. In addition, drugs with fluctuating prices of the relevant state pricing. Should say, March 28, 162 cultivars, cut nearly 1,300 formulations specifications of drugs to reduce prices highest retail price really play a very significant role.

Hunan price institute long-term tracking and research the price of drugs problem LinXing researcher points out, lower drug prices, already need one high hand of government use tangible, also need to play an active role in market competition. "People have reason to believe that, with the measures of medical collaborative propulsion, one high 'drug prices will be effective governance symptom'."
