Review: Online sales of prescription drugs can not make prescription rules "discounted"

The hospital prescribes drugs for no more than 7 days at a time, but online shopping can buy 10 boxes at a time; The maximum validity period of hospital prescriptions must not exceed 3 days, but online purchases can use prescriptions from several months ago; Some online shopping platforms can also buy and open squares
.
In recent years, online shopping platforms have provided many conveniences
for patients to purchase drugs.
In order to regulate online drug sales, the State Administration for Market Supervision and Administration recently issued the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Drug Online Sales (hereinafter referred to as the Measures), which will be implemented on December 1, making clear provisions
on drug network sales management, platform responsibility performance, supervision and inspection measures and legal liabilities.
(Workers' Daily, September 19) After the implementation of the "Measures", the common chaos of online prescription drugs is expected to be cured
.
For example, in the past, drugs were prescribed without verifying the names of people, and in the future, the real-name system for online prescription drugs was implemented; In the past, there was no qualified sales, and enterprises engaged in drug network sales in the future must meet the qualification requirements; In the past, after the remedy, no prescription sales, in the future to ensure that the prescription source is true and reliable; In the past, commercial promotional activities such as "buy ten get one free" were carried out, and in the future, prescription drugs were not given to individuals by buying drugs and giving away drugs, buying goods and giving drugs.
In response to the main chaos, targeted measures have been introduced, and online sales of prescription drugs are bound to change from chaos to treatment
.
It should also be noted that some less obvious chaos will easily remain after the implementation of the
Measures.
For example, some hospitals stipulate that the prescription is "valid for three days", and the expiration needs to be re-signed and confirmed, and the number of drugs on the prescription is also strictly limited, and the prescription that is over-prescribed will be "returned"
by the pharmacy.
However, it is not easy to sell prescription drugs online to have a prescription, and as for the quantity and time limit, it is easy to be regarded as a sub-section problem and cannot be taken seriously
.
More importantly, physical hospitals have strict organizational structures for management, but online sales of prescription drugs involve multiple subjects, and the management is relatively loose, and it is difficult for physical hospitals to move the internal management system for drugs online
.
In this way, the prescription rules, especially some specific rules, are easy to be "discounted"
when implemented online.
In addition, some operators may find it difficult to adapt to the prescription management rules from scratch, from less to more, and even have a lax mentality - thinking that the matter has reached this point and there will be no major mistakes
.
Some people even think that the improvement of new things has to go through a process, so at the beginning of the online sale of prescription drugs do not strictly implement various rules, or can obtain a certain degree of understanding and tolerance
.
However, considering that the slightest loophole in prescription management will lay a major hidden danger to life and health, prescription rules cannot be "discounted" online, nor can they be regarded as a process
towards maturity.
Implementing the rules to the letter from the beginning is the right choice
.
If you want the prescription rules to be "discounted" online, you should move the prescription management model (including some details management) of the physical medical institution online
.
For example, the time limit of prescriptions, multi-person review mechanism, prescription reviews, problem prescription review, doctors and pharmacists discuss the rationality of prescriptions, multiple prescriptions of the same patient for drug rationality assessment and drug deletion, etc.
, these mature rules that have been widely used in physical medical institutions are worth learning from
online prescription drugs.
Online prescription drugs have determined the general direction and drawn thick lines, but more specific operations and more detailed supervision still need to be improved
.
Allowing the Internet to sell prescription drugs is not just to open up a convenient drug sales channel, but to provide patients with quality diagnosis and treatment services
through the Internet.
There is still a long way to go to improve the operation and supervision rules of online prescription drugs, and the basic bottom line that should be kept at present is not to let some good practices of physical medical institutions managing prescription drugs be "discounted" and implemented
