It is urgent to build a systematic quality view for the frequent illegal behaviors of traditional Chinese Medicine

In recent years, due to the unilateral pursuit of economic interests of some enterprises, there are illegal behaviors such as the use of fake and inferior herbal extracts in the extraction process of traditional Chinese medicine, which brings potential safety risks to the quality of Chinese patent medicine, and also rings the alarm again for the healthy development of traditional Chinese medicine industry At present, the raw materials of Chinese patent medicine production mainly include Chinese medicinal materials, Chinese herbal pieces, vegetable oils and extracts Chinese herbal medicine refers to the raw materials formed by the initial processing of the place of production after the collection of the medicinal parts of medicinal plants, animals and minerals; Chinese Herbal Pieces refer to the prescription drugs that can be directly used in clinical or preparation production after the processing of Chinese herbal medicines; plant oil and extract refer to the volatile oil, oil, effective parts and effective components made from plants and animals, among which the extract includes water Or alcohol is a kind of liquid extract, extract or dry extract, which contains one or several kinds of effective parts and a single effective component whose content is more than 90% Traditional Chinese medicine is the most important material basis for disease prevention and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, its importance is beyond doubt, "safe, stable, effective and controllable" has been an important indicator to measure the quality of traditional Chinese medicine In recent years, with the rising price of some Chinese herbal medicines, the quality of Chinese herbal medicines is constantly fluctuating or declining Some clinically effective prescriptions are no longer as effective as they used to be Some Chinese patent medicine manufacturers have to reduce the quality of Chinese herbal medicines, or have the phenomenon of adulteration and confusion, or even reduce or decline due to the problem of raw materials, because they cannot purchase the Chinese herbal medicines needed for production Some varieties are discontinued If the material basis of traditional Chinese medicine is missing or declining, the cause of traditional Chinese medicine will face a terrible situation Therefore, no matter the supervision department or the production department, we should first establish a "systematic view on the quality of traditional Chinese medicine industry" We should have a very clear understanding that the quality of traditional Chinese medicine should include "varieties of traditional Chinese Medicine - medicinal plants (animals and minerals) - traditional Chinese Medicine - pieces of traditional Chinese Medicine - vegetable oils and extracts - semi-finished products (intermediates) - traditional Chinese medicine" and so on, and the quality of traditional Chinese medicine From the aspect of technological attribute, it should include "standardized planting, harvesting and primary processing of producing area, processing of decoction pieces, extraction and purification, concentration and drying, and preparation molding" That is to say, the quality of traditional Chinese medicine should be a systematic engineering throughout the whole process of "traditional Chinese medicine agriculture to traditional Chinese medicine industry", "field to clinical" All kinds of supervision systems and technical requirements of Chinese patent medicine must reflect the systematization, scientificity and coherence of the Chinese medicine industry, rather than the local behaviors of "what is needed to make up for" and "headache, headache, and foot pain" It is not allowed to formulate corresponding policies or measures after problems occur in a certain link At present, the main reason for the problems in the extraction process and the quality of extracts in traditional Chinese medicine industry is that the importance of traditional Chinese medicine agriculture has been ignored for a long time, and the quality correlation and systematic quality concept among traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal pieces and Chinese herbal extracts have not been fully recognized As a manufacturer of Chinese patent medicine, Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese herbal pieces are the most important and basic raw materials in the production process Different from the clinical use of traditional Chinese medicine, the consumption of Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese Herbal Pieces in the manufacturer of Chinese patent medicine is usually large, with a small amount of tens or hundreds of tons, as many as thousands of tons A little careless, it is easy to mix some fake or toxic Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese herbal pieces, which may be given to Chinese patent medicine products The quality of has caused serious adverse consequences Therefore, it should be one of the main tasks of modern Chinese patent medicine manufacturers to pay attention to the quality of Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese herbal pieces and establish a traceability system for the production of raw materials of Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese herbal pieces The most direct way to establish a traceability system for the production of raw materials (Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese herbal pieces) is to establish a standardized planting industrialization base of Chinese herbal medicine needed for the production of Chinese patent medicine by Chinese patent medicine enterprises themselves, and establish a Chinese Herbal Pieces enterprise to connect with Chinese patent medicine production enterprises The raw materials for the production of Chinese patent medicine should be Chinese herbal pieces, vegetable oils and extracts Chinese herbal medicine is only the raw materials that are collected from the medicinal parts and processed in the production place Chinese herbal medicine can not be used as the direct raw materials for the production of Chinese patent medicine and clinical use of Chinese medicine However, only using Chinese herbal pieces, vegetable oils and extracts as raw materials for the production of Chinese patent medicine may increase the production cost of pharmaceutical enterprises, but it will make the industry chain of Chinese herbal medicine more standardized gradually, so it also needs the policy support of relevant departments.
