The new regulations eliminate the drug packaging, "renovate old drug"
State Food and Drug Administration last year issued "instructions and labeling pharmaceutical regulations Decree No. 24" provides that from October 1 this year, all pharmaceutical companies produce drugs must use the new packaging, and trademarks and trade names font no larger than generic. October 11, the reporter conducted a survey interview, the interview showed that the new package to replace pharmacy drugs remains low. Reporters call the State Drug Administration, the staff member said, there is the phenomenon of coexistence of old and new packaging normal, new rules apply after October 1 production of drugs, to pharmaceutical manufacturing date as the standard. Pharmaceutical Packaging specification brings much convenience to consumers, but also led to changes in the pharmaceutical business pains.
Consumer: buy drugs to understand The provisions of pharmaceutical packaging boxes and a detailed description of the contents of all requirements, including generic names, trade names, trademarks, size, name, position, font, size, font color and so on. Which provides for the future, new packaging drugs, generic names should be marked, prominent, its font, size and color must be consistent.

"Did not know 'compound paracetamol and amantadine hydrochloride' is valid and, when cold medicines only pay attention to 'crack', 'sense of health', etc. with the names, and then I have a lot of medicine is the name of different. Now that changed, then just remember to buy medicine generic name on the line, so that was bought. "farm communities in the vicinity of Beijing Double Bridge's oldest mother said a pharmacy to buy medicine.
"Not on the concept of generic drugs, as I have used many kinds of cold medicine, now I feel 'a sense of health' most suitable for them, so I am sure that even if the name change still would choose it. I value the drug quality and price rather than the name. "lives in Cell Double Bridge Farm Miss Lee said in an interview.
"Before the hospital with a brand name prescription, the same drugs have different brand name, we get the same prescription to the pharmacy looking for brand name medicines do not necessarily have, and we are, as long as the hospital prescription pharmaceuticals common name, take over a pair of prescription, you can buy medicine, much more convenient. "friend Miss Ye told reporters.
In fact, in the pharmaceutical industry, with a drug usually have multiple manufacturers, and many pharmaceutical companies to establish their own brands, often to their own unique brand name drug registration in order to show distinction. Statistics show that in China there are 200 kinds of commonly used drugs in the 4 drugs are 20%, five of drugs accounted for 25%, 6 of drugs accounting for 25%, 7 of drugs are 15%, or even The drug has more than 10 drug names.
Introduction of new regulations that for some pharmaceutical companies deliberately use some new name to fool consumers of goods and opportunity to raise prices. Synonym with the drug, a drug more than a lot of trouble not only to consumers very vulnerable to misuse, repeat medication and other phenomena, but also to pharmaceutical companies low-level repetitive production, "the old medicine renovation." The drugs "new forms" will help to improve overall, "more than one drug" status of flood, consumers do not have to be a wide variety of pharmaceutical trade names are misleading.

The issuance of new regulations will undoubtedly guide the pharmaceutical companies more conducive to pharmaceutical packaging, to maximize protection of drugs in patients with right to information, while the implementation of new regulations also help create a good pharmaceutical sales environment, regulate the pharmaceutical market, the enterprise and the patients to that is a good thing.
But there are industry analysts believe that the pharmaceutical companies to replace the new packaging will bring huge losses. A medium-sized pharmaceutical companies need to invest hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of million of funds. Pharmaceutical companies generally have hundreds of varieties of drugs, these products need to replace the packing. Meanwhile, the old pharmaceutical packaging and packaging templates, molds must be destroyed in accordance with the provisions of such cost pressures brought to the enterprise is not small. And some pharmaceutical companies rely mainly on sales of several well-known drugs, new regulations require the enterprises as weakening trade name drugs, it is not conducive to corporate branding. Replacement of the stress in the new packaging generic drugs, the market risk increased, sales are likely to be influential.
