"I'm Not the God of Medicine" has received numerous fans as soon as it was launched. This film adapted from a real story confronts the ups and downs of the little people in society. There are many fans and the reputation is also very good. The Douban score reached 9.0 points. Let’s talk about the difference between generic drugs and original drugs.
New drug research and development
new drug research and development is very difficult.
First of all, the time period is long. Now the research and development time of a new drug is about 10 years. In the middle, it has to go through the production of drugs, animal trials, phase I clinical trials, phase II clinical trials, and phase III clinical trials. If the test results meet the requirements In order to be approved for marketing, most drugs cannot go through all the processes, and there may not be one out of 10 drugs.
is secondly expensive. The research and development cost of a new drug is in units of 100 million, and more can cost more than 1 billion.
Finally, the risk is high. Pharmaceutical companies take huge risks to develop new drugs. If the R&D fails, a large amount of manpower and material resources are invested, which is very likely to plunge the company into an abyss that cannot be recovered.
Why do pharmaceutical companies take huge risks for new drug research and development
Because of the high cost of new drug research and development, the long-term risk is high, and pharmaceutical companies take huge risks to conduct research. Therefore, once the development is successful, the company will inevitably recover the cost. This is a drug company's risk The reason for the huge risk of developing new drugs. Once
is successfully developed, it will be sold at a super high price in order to recover the cost.
and the patent law will protect this drug from being produced by other pharmaceutical companies. If it is to be produced, the patent fee must be paid.
Generic
As long as new drugs are on the market, there are various technical means to analyze the ingredients of the drugs. It is not difficult for other pharmaceutical companies to produce exactly the same drugs. If
has not obtained the patent authorization and obtained the drug ingredients through technical means and produced it, the drug is a generic drug.
Because generic drugs do not have huge R&D costs, only production costs, generic drugs will be sold very cheaply, which is twice or even ten times lower than the original drugs.
After a lot of data, it is shown that in terms of efficacy and safety, there is no obvious difference between the original drug and the generic drug. At least there is no obvious difference between Gleevec in the film. There are many such papers.
In other words, generic drugs and original drugs are exactly the same in terms of efficacy and safety. The only difference is the price. Gleevec in the
movie is the first anti-cancer drug used for targeted therapy, and its therapeutic effect and safety have been verified by a large number of patients, which greatly prolongs the survival rate of countless chronic myeloid leukemia patients.
India has always been known as the "world pharmacy" because its generic drug industry is very developed and popular all over the world due to its low cost and high quality. However, generic drugs are not fake drugs, they are drugs with the same "efficacy" as the original drugs. India's generic drug history has been over 40 years, with a compound growth rate of 5.64% in the past five years. China is a large consumer country. In order to open up the Chinese market, Indian pharmacies (including various types of medicines such as tumor, liver disease, cancer, lung disease, kidney disease, heart disease, skin disease, diabetes, rheumatism and bone disease, etc.) opened , Which greatly facilitates the needs of people at home and abroad.
Indian pharmacy can stand out among the many pharmacies in India, relying on continuous innovative thinking mode, which is also an important reason why it can become India's new rise and go global!
