Behind many pharmaceutical suppliers "eating" fines for producing and selling inferior medicines is the tightening of the supervision of the pharmaceutical industry, which greatly increases the cost of illegality
.
The industry pointed out that, in particular, the implementation of the new version of the "Drug Administration Law" has clear regulations on the scope and fines of counterfeit and inferior drugs
.
According to the new version of the "Drug Administration Law", the scope of counterfeit drugs includes: the ingredients contained in the drugs do not conform to the ingredients specified in the national drug standards; the non-drugs are passed off as drugs or other drugs are passed off as such drugs; spoiled drugs; Indications or functional indications are beyond the specified range
.
The scope of inferior drugs includes: the content of drug ingredients does not meet the national drug standards; contaminated drugs; drugs with no indication or change of expiry date; drugs with no indication or change of product batch number; drugs; other drugs that do not meet the drug standards
.
From the perspective of punishment, according to the new version of the "Drug Administration Law", enterprises that sell fake and inferior drugs will be fined 1.
5 million yuan for selling counterfeit drugs and 100,000 yuan for retailing inferior drugs
.
Judging from some small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies that have been fined for illegal behavior, the income from the production and sale of counterfeit and inferior drugs is hardly proportional to the fines they eat
.
Drugs are special commodities related to human health.
For pharmaceutical companies, quality is the life of the company.
Only by standardizing production, operation and sales behavior and improving product quality can the development of the company be accelerated.
Otherwise, it is like shooting yourself in the foot.
