Pagoda sugar once swept the country, why did it disappear later?

People born after the 90s and after should be very unfamiliar with pagoda sugar. Pagoda candy can be said to have experienced ups and downs. In China, it has reached its most popularity; Faced with the dilemma of disappearing; has had the experience of "coming back from the dead"; It is also full of helpless ...... of being eliminated by the timesAs an anti-roundworm food, it played a very important role in China's most difficult period, but it has gradually disappeared under the wheel of history in China's rapid technological development.

1. The origin of pagoda candy In the early days of China's liberation, all kinds of waste were prosperous. Because of the poverty of the country and the constraints of technology, the development of medical care at that time was very backward, especially the health conditions and environment of the people, and the most basic guarantee was not obtained. Therefore, ascariasis is a very common disease.

In such a case, pagoda sugar was produced by the introduction of artemisia annua and refining technology from the Soviet Union, and then a certain proportion of edible sugar was added by domestic pharmaceutical companies. It is named because of the shape of a pagoda with a cone.

Second, the decline of pagoda sugar is destined to not be a long-term solution by relying on foreign technology. After the Soviet Union unilaterally tore up the contract and became hostile to our country, the technology of refining pagoda sugar also disappeared. After decades of hardship, our ancestors who knew that they could only rely on themselves finally developed our own refining technology and realized the independence of pagoda sugar production.

It is the so-called oversupply, so the inventory of pagoda sugar is seriously overstocked. What completely rewrote the fate of pagoda candy was that China had developed a more effective drug than pagoda sugar. After that, Baota Sugar was directly announced by the relevant departments to be eliminated, and since then it has withdrawn from China's pharmaceutical market.

With the disappearance of pagoda sugar, there is also the raw material for refining pagoda candy - artemisia. Because the market no longer needs pagoda sugar, the cultivation of Artemisia annua has also lost its benefits, although some of the seeds of Artemisia annua have been sealed and preserved, but today, it has long been unable to germinate and cultivate. To be precise, Artemisia annua was completely extinct in 1985.

From the "history of rise and fall" of pagoda sugar, we need to learn from it: development is the last word, and if you want to stand at the forefront of the times, you need to continue to explore and innovate, otherwise you can only be left far behind by the times.

Pagoda sugar is actually a kind of anti-insect medicine, and after the development of our level, there are new alternatives, so it slowly disappears.

This medicine requires an essential material, which our country has almost none, and can only rely on Russia to provide it, and later Sino-Soviet relations changed, and the Soviet Union stopped sending Artemisia annua to our country.

Because pagoda sugar was once developed by the former Soviet Union with us, after the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations, China developed its own anti-insect medicine, so pagoda candy is no longer there.

Mainly because of the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, the Soviet Union did not provide raw materials for pagoda sugar.

Because the living environment was not very good, children often ate unclean food and had roundworms in their stomachs, and pagoda candy can repel roundworms. Now that medical treatment is developed, roundworms can take medicine, and the demand for pagoda sugar has been greatly reduced, so it disappeared later.

Because of the productionPagoda sugarThe material is insufficient, so I don't let it be sold.

There is a material called fennel in pagoda sugar, which is currently extinct in our country, and if it is made, it needs to be imported from abroad, which increases the cost and the cost is higher. At the same time, with the development of the times, there are various snacks that can replace pagoda sugar.

Nowadays, many post-80s and 90s generations want to relive the taste of their childhood, so some merchants make some candies according to the style of pagoda candy for sale, but the taste is not the same.

Artemisia is a species of Arctic Circle.

In the past, our country has always relied on the former Soviet Union.

Imports, due to the high cost now, are no longer used as raw materials.

Pagoda sugar

The roundworm that "Pagoda Sugar" deals with is an ancient human parasite. In the early days of liberation more than fifty years ago, ascariasis.

In China, it is a very common disease that exists in both urban and rural areas.

This agent, which is specifically used to repel roundworms, is extracted from the Asteraceae plant, Artemisia annua. At first, it was made as a tablet, but later, in order to make the medicine enjoyable for children, a certain percentage of sugar was added and made into a pale yellow and pink cone.

The shape of a pagoda. People call this roundworm medicine pagoda sugar.

The People's Republic of China was

In the early stage, the registration and supervision and management of drugs were not on the right track. "Pagoda sugar" has become a mixed name of the drug name and the brand name used by more than a dozen pharmaceutical factories across the country to repel roundworms.

Because there have been many alternatives to pagoda sugar on the market, the efficacy of these drugs is better than pagoda sugar, so doctors will no longer prescribe pagoda candy to people, as an over-the-counter drug pagoda candy in the pharmacy, the only remaining value is as a cheap snack, but if it is simply a snack, its cost performance is far inferior to other candies. Pagoda sugar, which was originally a popular product, lost its market competitiveness.

As the sales of pagoda sugar gradually declined, Artemisia annua also faced disappearance. Yes, even pagoda candy is not needed, so there is no need for its raw materials. Farms in Weifang no longer grow Artemisia annua in large quantities, but use the land to grow more cash crops.

Artemisia was about to become extinct, and some old workers felt that it was a pity, so they saved some seeds, but the success of the method of deep well preservation at that time was purely accidental, this time, they used the same method to preserve, but did not succeed in leaving the last seeds of Artemisia annua.

In just two years, Artemisia annua has gone from thousands of acres to species extinction, and people today can't remember what Artemisia annua is, and can't remember what pagoda candy tastes like. However, people also said goodbye to ascariasis, so pagoda sugar disappeared.

Although it is a pity that an old object has disappeared, from another point of view, it is also a kind of luck, and the children of the new century no longer have to endure ascariasis, and they also have better medicines and better medical conditions, which we should be happy about.

Pagoda sugar is actually a kind of insecticide, popular in the eighties, the main raw material of pagoda sugar is a plant called Artemisia annua, it originated in the Soviet Union, was introduced into China and then extinct in China, and later China's medical personnel developed a better effect of anthelmintic drugs instead of pagoda sugar, since then, pagoda sugar gradually disappeared in China.

Pagoda sugar contains Artemisia annua, which contains the substance of "-Shandao Year", which can kill roundworms in the body and does not affect human health.

After the disappearance of pagoda sugar in China, people use levamisole to make pagoda sugar, but it is no longer the same thing as the original pagoda sugar. With the advancement of medical technology, more effective anti-worming drugs have emerged to replace pagoda sugar, and can inhibit the absorption of glucose by parasites, kill internal parasites and melt the worms out of the body, and the effect is better.

There are several reasons why pagoda sugar is not recommended now:

1.The main ingredient of pagoda sugar is Artemisia annua, which can effectively repel and cavity bend to eliminate roundworms, but it also has a potential allergy risk, which may cause allergic reactions and nervous system***.

2.With the advancement of medicine and the emphasis on health and hygiene, modern hygiene has improved, and babies have less chance of being infected with eggs, so the need for deworming has also decreased.

3.Now there are safer and more effective insect repellent methods, such as albidazole and other sprays, which are more convenient to use and smaller.

In summary, although pagoda sugar was an effective method of deworming in the past, it is not recommended to use pagoda sugar now because the need for deworming has decreased in modern society and there are safer and more square alternatives.

Pagoda sugar intestinal insect repellent over-the-counter drugs.

Common name of pagoda sugar: piperazine phosphate pagoda sugar. Former name:

The six keys contain a pagoda of sugar. Replacement levamisole pagoda sugar. It has the effect of paralyzing roundworms, so that roundworms cannot attach to the intestinal wall of the host and are expelled with intestinal peristalsis.

Occasionally, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, paresthesia, urticaria, etc., which disappear after stopping the drug.

One of the raw materials of pagoda sugar has no shadow in our country, so it is no longer produced.

Now that we have developed a more effective drug for roundworm, there is no need to use pagoda sugar.

The supply of this kind of sugar exceeded demand, which led to a decrease in **, and merchants could not make money, so they stopped production.
