Study on the frequent occurrence of safety problems of traditional Chinese Medicine

In recent years, as a treasure of traditional Chinese culture, traditional Chinese medicine has encountered trust crisis repeatedly On Tuesday, CCTV exposed the serious phenomenon of weight gain, dyeing and adulteration of traditional Chinese medicine in Bozhou Chinese medicine market The State Food and drug administration also immediately said that it would soon launch a large-scale special action on the pesticide market in conjunction with several ministries and commissions According to the data of adverse drug reactions reported by the State Drug Administration from 2009 to 2012, there were 630000 adverse drug reactions in 2009, 690000 in 2010, 850000 in 2011 and 1.2 million in 2012 In 2009, adverse reactions of traditional Chinese medicine accounted for 13% of the total number of reports, 14% in 2010 and 17% in 2012 According to the data over the years, traditional Chinese medicine accounts for about 15% of the total adverse drug reactions Analysts of Shangpu consulting industry pointed out that: Recently, some safety problems of traditional Chinese medicine occur frequently, which not only exposed the weakness of basic research of traditional Chinese medicine, but also showed the urgency and necessity of re evaluation and re research of traditional Chinese medicine To this end, the following measures should be taken First of all, strengthen the basic research on the safety of traditional Chinese medicine We will speed up the standardization of the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine Most of the traditional Chinese medicine currently used in China is cultivated by human beings After many years of reproduction, its properties and active ingredients will change These problems are difficult to adapt to the current trend of setting up production bases and developing drug markets If we introduce and utilize gene and cell engineering technology of bioengineering, these outstanding problems will be solved Secondly, the processing of traditional Chinese medicine should be strictly carried out to improve the storage conditions The processing of traditional Chinese medicine should be based on the combination of the processing of law and the processing of clinical prescriptions, the unified prescription name of resume, and the deployment according to the requirements to ensure that the medicine can be used and used The toxic traditional Chinese medicine should be strictly managed, processed in accordance with the law, to reduce the toxicity and ensure the safety of drug use Constantly improve the storage conditions, classify the storage according to the texture of traditional Chinese medicine, ensure that the medicine is free from physical and chemical changes such as mildew, moth and oil, and avoid important pollution from the external environment Thirdly, we should strengthen the research on the influence of dosage forms, especially traditional Chinese medicine injection on safety It is necessary to select appropriate dosage forms and determine safe and effective preparation methods Especially for some special dosage forms, the quality standards should be strictly controlled to eliminate the incidence of foreseeable adverse reactions to the maximum extent As a traditional industry with Chinese traditional cultural symbols, the traditional Chinese medicine industry itself has a big gap with western medicine's precise measurement and treatment methods The traditional Chinese medicine industry is to use different Chinese herbal medicines with different prescriptions to treat diseases by synergy, which will inevitably put forward higher quality requirements for pharmaceutical materials As the source and starting point of traditional Chinese medicine industry, herbal medicine will inevitably affect the overall quality of the whole industry If the source safety cannot be fundamentally controlled, the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry will be impossible.
