drug wants to enter health insurance, become the country's basic drugs, first of all to see whether there is "identity" and the so-called "identity", that is, there is no pharmacopeia entered.this edition
CFPPharmacopeia Economics from gold and silver flowers to mountain silver flowers, which the local government and drug farmers in Hunan did not think. That is, from then on, the North-South struggle between gold and silver flowers has not stopped.This reporterZhang Weifrom Beijing 8 12
, Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, deputy director of the Corruption Prevention Office Lu Qun through the real name of the State Food and Drug Administration, called it "for the interest group endorsement", and called on the current Director General of the General Administration of Food and Drug Administration Zhang Yong "to resign." Lu Qun claimed in a microblog that the State Administration of Food and Drug Administration and the Chinese Pharmacopeia Commission
(
hereinafter referred to as the "Pharmacopoeia Commission

through the "Chinese Pharmacopeia"
(
hereinafter referred to as "Pharmacopeia"
)
of the amendment involved power corruption, "depriving the southern region of China of thousands of years of brand rights to gold and silver flowers.""Southern Gold and Silver Flower" in Luqun Weibo, known as grey felt wool winter, was "renamed" in the
2005
revision of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and was classified under The Mountain Silver Flower.silver flowers, mountain silver flowers are only a word, the effect is about the same, but in terms of price, but more than double. This is also the land group and some southern farmers who grow gray felt wool to endure winter is very wronged place. They questioned, gray felt wool winter has always been the southern gold and silver flowers, why change the name to turn it into mountain silver flowers?, the Pharmacopeia Commission responded that the red glands under the mountain silver flower bear winter, South China endure winter began in the
1977
edition of the pharmacopeia. This time reflects the loss of the larger production in Hunan's gray felt wool winter in
2005
before the edition of the pharmacopeia, did not include the national pharmacopeia, but only the local medicinal standards, is a local practice of medicinal herbs, so the gray felt wool winter is the first time included in the
2005
edition of the pharmacopeia, and there is no problem from the national pharmacopeia to its name.Zhou Chaofan, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a special adviser to the Pharmacopeia Commission, pointed out in an interview with the Times Weekly that gold and silver flowers are herbs, mountain silver flowers are shrubs, and are two different plants. Thesilver flowers, also known as "double flowers", are mainly concentrated in Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei and other places. Among them, Pingyi County, Linyi City, Shandong Province, is the main production area of gold and silver flowers contained in the pharmacopeia, the largest planting area., the North-South gold and silver flower debate is still fermenting, and the revision of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia has become one of the hot topics of debate.rules of the Chinese Pharmacopeia
January
2015, the Chinese Pharmacopeia

2015 will be publicly available and open. Up to now,
2015
edition of the pharmacopeia revision work is nearing the end, "
October
will be
, to allow two months of printing time.Chinese medicine expert, who asked not to be named, told the Times that it now appears that in this revision, the gray felt wool winter is still under the mountain silver flower, "the Pharmacopeia Commission will not compromise." Itunderstood that the pharmacopeia of
2015
was revised on the basis of the
2010
edition of the Pharmacopoeia to further emphasize the "safe, effective, stability and control" of the drug.Zhou Fucheng, Deputy Secretary-General of theNational Pharmacopoeia Commission, said in an interview with the media
: "In the 2015
edition of the Pharmacopeia, not only the drug quality testing and control methods and standards for Chinese medicine, chemical and biological drugs have been widely revised, improved and upgraded, but also in the chinese medicine standards, the basic establishment of a new system and new model for the overall control quality of Chinese medicine characteristics and characteristics." The aforementioned Pharmacopeia Special Adviser Zhou Chaofan before and after participated in the revision of the
9
edition of the Pharmacopeia, in his view, the revision of the Pharmacopeia has made great progress, the pharmacopeia contains more and more varieties, specifications are more and more stringent, "only high standards, less fraud." According , in

1975, the Chinese Pharmacopoeia began its first revision after the Cultural Revolution, after which China published two editions of the Pharmacopoeia in
1955
and
1963
, respectively., Zhou Chaofan had just entered the work of the Chinese Pharmacopeia Commission and participated in the revision of the
1977
edition of the Pharmacopoeia. He said the revision of the pharmacopeia was not as easy as had been thought. According to his recollection, the difficult conditions at that time, that is, the medicine written on the blackboard, we look at the blackboard to discuss, the discussion includes the function of the drug treatment, usage, precautions and so on. "It took about two years before the revision of
1977
edition of the Pharmacopoeia."2005
, the sixth revision of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. One of the changes was the thorough classification of gold and silver flowers and mountain silver flowers, which at one point was considered by the Pharmacopeia Commission to be the "most reasonable division".Flows have their own gold and silver "Shen Nong herbs" there are gold and silver flowers, "herb outline" also has gold and silver flowers, gold and silver flowers have long been recognized by the whole country, mountain and silver flowers are later varieties, but also Hunan and other provinces and cities of local medicine, is not recognized throughout the country. The only way to recognize it is to go into the pharmacopeia.public response of the Pharmacopeia Commission,
the local government organized farmers to plant large areas of grey felt wool to endure winter in order to solve the problem of the riches of farmers in poor mountainous areas about
2000. In order to solve this problem, the local government's approach is to actively promote the grey felt wool winter on the pharmacopeia, as it is a local practice of medicinal herbs and the geographical scope of their use is greatly restricted.Zhou Chaofan confirmed that the gray felt wool winter into the pharmacopeia does have a great relationship with the local government and drug farmers, "into the pharmacopeia has a national standard, in order to be recognized by the market, only good to sell." In , if drug farmers wish their own medicines to be entered into the Pharmacopeia, they can only report it to the Pharmacopeia Commission through local governments. Zhou Chaofan said that provinces such as Hunan, Guizhou and Sichuan, which grow mountain silver flowers, need samples from local drug farmers, and that local drug testing institutes can obtain professional data as a standard by doing experiments, checking chemical composition, and doing animal experiments. As long as there are samples and standards, can be reported to the Pharmacopeia Commission, by the China Food and Drug Inspection Research Institute to verify this, in line with the standards before being entered into the Pharmacopeia.may sound reasonable, Zhou chaofan believes that the road to the pharmacopeia is long and tortuous.Zhou Chaofan said that the Pharmacopeia Commission has more than
20,
professional committees, professional committees below there are many experts, want to be entered into the Pharmacopoeia through the professional committee experts all recognized, "we have to agree, by no means a personal account." " but even if all the testing is completed, it is not easy to enter the pharmacopeia, still need to go through a long wait, " a variety of want to enter the pharmacopeia, the fastest time is three or four years. Zhou Chaofan said.submitted varieties and standards, but the National Pharmacopeia Professional Committee, in reviewing the relevant research materials submitted by the drafting unit, found that the local medicinal herbs from the medicinal history, plant sources, medicinal properties, chemical composition and other aspects of the gold and silver flower
(
is a certain difference between
)
compared with the red glands already listed under the mountain silver flower, South China endure winter close, after discussion by the professional committee, agreed to the gray felt wool winter income pharmacopeia under the silver flower.from gold and silver flowers to mountain silver flowers, which the local government and drug farmers in Hunan did not think. That is, from then on, the North-South struggle between gold and silver flowers has not stopped.In Zhou Chaofan's view, the reason why the previous contradiction did not break out, because the contradiction is not taken seriously, now because the price is too wide, so the contradiction is intensified, coupled with the southern humidity, in order to prevent moldy herbs, drug farmers generally use sulfur fumigation herbs, "sulfur use will be improper, which is also a very important reason for the price of silver flowers in Hunan Mountain plummeted."In order to recover the momentum,
in 2011
, the government of Long hui County, Hunan Province, held a seminar on "gold and silver flowers", when six years have passed since the publication of the pharmacopeia in
2005 and
, in which the Long hui county government has been trying to put the gray felt winter under the gold and silver flowers, and strive for it.According to time weekly reporters understand that the Long hui county government to hold a forum is very simple, want to revitalize the mountain silver flower, but also want to "southern gold and silver flower" can get experts, scholars agree. At that meeting, the Long hui county government spent nearly a million yuan, invited more than 200 experts from all over the country to go to Long hui, because of the number of participants, the county government had to call out the police to maintain order.Zhou Chaofan, as the host of the meeting, he felt that the government was well-intentioned, "a small county town,
4
hours away from Changsha." Long Hui sent a large and small car back and forth to Changsha Airport transfer."meeting, Zhou Chaofan made clear his support for the development of local mountain silver flowers, including Li Lienda, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.even today, we support the local cultivation of mountain silver flowers. "In his opinion, mountain silver flowers can still be widely used in the production of herbal tea. for the Long hui county government, such a return is clearly not what they want. The real name is the expected goal of the bulging. " name change is not possible, is two varieties, so can not be changed to gold and silver flowers. Zhou Chaofan's attitude is very firm, in addition to injections other than oral medicine, in the case of insufficient gold and silver flowers, can be replaced by mountain silver flowers, but mountain silver flowers are mountain silver flowers. Authoritative Economic Value The Chinese Pharmacopeia is the authoritative reference book for Chinese medicine that the Pharmacopoeia Commission is responsible for organizing and compiling the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China and formulating and revising the national drug standards in accordance with the provisions of the Drug Administration Law of the People's Republic of China. " doctors to prescribe, will try to prescribe pharmacopeia on the record of drugs, pharmacopeia is not recorded drugs, doctors do not open easily, afraid of the efficacy is not sure, safety is not enough. Zhou Chaofan said. Zhou Chaofan used the term "carp jumping dragon door" to describe the drug in and out of the pharmacopeia. "Without pharmacopeia, there are no national standards, just local standards, and of course a lot of people don't buy them." , the benefits of entering the pharmacopeia go beyond that. drug wants to enter health insurance, become the country's basic drugs, first of all to see whether there is "identity" and the so-called "identity", that is, there is no pharmacopeia entered. Only drugs entering the pharmacopeia are eligible to declare reimbursements for essential drugs and medical insurance. pharmacopeia didn't come in, that's the local standard, it couldn't get health insurance, it couldn't be a basic national drug, "Who's that for?" It can only be sold to out-of-the-country patients. Wang Songlin
(), an expert in Chinese medicine who has been involved in the revision of the pharmacopeia,
said, "It's a lot more learned." has improved its status and is able to access health insurance and essential medicines, according to a simple calculation by a Times reporter, once included in the pharmacopeia, it is possible to sell a billion dollars a year for a variety of drugs. this is a pharmaceutical manufacturers and pharmaceutical manufacturers sharpen their heads to enter the pharmacopeia an important reason. But to get into the pharmacopeia, up-front costs are essential. Previously, a pharmaceutical factory in Guangdong Province, trying to make their own company's anti-inflammatory bile tablets into the pharmacopeia, after the application, the Pharmacopeia Commission asked the pharmaceutical companies to draft their own standards, the result of this standard not only took more than three years, but also let the pharmaceutical companies spent nearly
4 million yuan
for this. the drafting standard is not an easy thing, not to say that casually take a sample can set the standard, "set high also can not, set low also can not." "Take anti-inflammatory bile tablets, there is a drug called wearing heart lotus, if the standard of wearing heart lotus set very high, I am afraid that some pharmaceutical companies will not meet the standards, so that non-standard pharmaceutical companies can no longer produce anti-inflammatory bile tablets, contradictions will come out." Therefore, the formulation of this standard, not only the majority of pharmaceutical acceptable, but also the quality of the standard can be. One is certain that there are many procedures for drafting standards. All procedures are costly, such as standards drafted, to be verified through the Guangdong drug testing institute, this one needs to be charged. After the regional drug testing station passed, go to the provincial drug testing station to verify again, this one also needs to spend money. Provincial drug inspection institutes report to the China Food and Drug Inspection Research Institute to meet the review requirements, also need to spend. that is to say, every link, from the regional drug testing office, provincial drug testing office, to the Central Drug Inspection Research Institute, there is a big expense. In addition, the drug testing institute can not be checked, but also have to go to the medical school to do the examination, these have to spend money. "No white do
