The drugs recommended by pharmacies are always more expensive, how to buy the right medicine for the

Under normal circumstances, when you go to the pharmacy to buy medicines, you are recommended to buy some more expensive drugs, in fact, this is understandable, after all, people also rely on performance to support their families. If all the drugs sold to consumers are low-cost drugs, how can they survive? In the face of such a situation, consumers should adjust their mentality, buy the right one instead of the most expensive, the disease needs to be prescribed the right medicine, not the most expensive is the most suitable, which must be kept in mind when buying medicine.

Under normal circumstances, when you go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, it is because there is a problem, and now people's living conditions are very good, and they don't care much about money. Therefore, when the pharmacy staff recommends medicines, they choose the most expensive one regardless of 3721, but as everyone knows, some medicines are very easy to use, but they are very cheap.

Buying medicine is not buying clothes or other consumer goods, it is different from their nature, it is not the price, it is not expensive, it is not the brand, what is needed is to prescribe the right medicine, there are some drugs that seem to be very cheap, but the effect is surprisingly good. On the contrary, some medicines may use expensive herbs, but they may not be suitable for your condition, so it is not recommended to choose the most expensive medicine, but choose the most suitable medicine.

The reason why the pharmacy staff can successfully recommend the best drugs is that there are consumers who buy them, in addition to understanding the consumers' eagerness to treat diseases, and they know that most consumers have weak medical knowledge. Therefore, as consumers, in addition to adjusting our mentality, we also need to pay attention to the common sense of medicine when we are fine.

That is, after going to the pharmacy for consultation, I went to the Internet to check it myself, and it is generally better to buy something online.

Medicine can't be cheap, it depends on whether it's a suitable medicine, and it doesn't matter if it's expensive.

Or go to the hospital to see a doctor and prescribe medicine, now the hospital drug price, the examination fee has come down, the doctor's consultation fee, the disposal fee has increased, the hospital drug price is lower than the pharmacy, if you want to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, go to the house to compare the price, and then let the pharmacy discount.

If you know your condition, you can buy your own commonly used medicines and don't need to recommend them, if you don't know, you can go to the hospital to check it.

It depends on the situation, if you know what medicine to buy, it is useless for her to recommend expensive medicines, you can't buy a medicine, and you can take a doctor with you (* m).

If you want to buy medicine with the least amount of money, then you need to know what medicine you are buying, and then go to the pharmacy to buy it.

You can go to the hospital first, and then go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, which can save money.

Don't buy too many medicines, choose what suits you, be assertive, and buy what you need.

Most of the drugs in hospitals are more expensive than pharmacies, which is objective. And the reason why it is expensive is mainly because of the following few:

First, the procurement mechanism is different: the hospital's drugs are purchased by pharmaceutical companies in the form of bidding, for example, the drugs in a prefecture-level city are obtained by some enterprises through bidding, and the medical representatives of the pharmaceutical companies go to the hospital to push after the bidding. The first supply of drugs in pharmacies or the chain of pharmacies directly supplied by manufacturers only produces a drug price increase. From this aspect it can be concluded that hospitals are more expensive than pharmacies.

Second, the market mechanism is different: because the bidding for hospital drugs has been fixed, they cannot be changed at will in a certain period of time, hospital drugs are relatively stable, and price reductions are reduced income for pharmaceutical companies, and almost no pharmaceutical company has such a good conscience; The market for drugs sold by pharmacies is fully competitive, and similar pharmaceutical companies can be replaced at any time, and pharmaceutical companies must maintain the cost performance of drugs in order to be fully competitive in the market.

Third, the difference in the scale of production pharmaceutical enterprises: hospital drugs are relatively purchased from some large enterprises, large enterprises are advanced in production technology and production equipment, and the performance is relatively stable. Pharmacies should choose some new pharmaceutical companies, and the cost performance of new pharmaceutical companies is their magic weapon for success. Therefore, hospital drugs are more expensive.

There are many factors that affect the price of drugs, and it is not necessarily that the ** of each drug in the hospital is higher than that of the pharmacy, but it is higher on the whole. Medicine is related to people's life and death, and sometimes it is more related to a person's dignity at the last moment, hoping that people can afford to eat medicine when they are sick, can afford to use medicine, and no longer give up due to high drug prices, and end up with no medicine due to illness.

First of all, the reason why the pharmacy is high is because for the same drug, the hospital can cooperate with the pharmaceutical company to directly purchase in large quantities, because there are more patients, there is no need to worry about the problem of drug expiration, so that the bulk purchase, the drug ** is naturally relatively low.

The pharmacy is only a self-financed private liquid person model, and will not hoard a large number of drugs at one time, and the purchase channels of pharmacies are also different from hospitals, and they cannot enjoy the advantage of low-cost purchases, plus the cost of rent, water, electricity, and employees, the drug ** is naturally higher than that of the hospital;

Secondly, pharmacies are also very good at taking advantage of patients' psychology and recommending some drugs to patients that are more profitable for themselves, such as some over-the-counter drugs or Chinese patent medicines with very low cost. Since the people who go to the pharmacy to buy drugs directly are ordinary minor illnesses and pains, as ordinary patients, they can't tell the difference between drugs, and they are easily persuaded by salesmen to buy expensive drugs;

In addition, the high drug level in pharmacies is, in essence, the lack of a team of licensed pharmacists in China. Due to the fact that pharmacists practicing in accordance with the law in China have not formed a high-quality and responsible atmosphere, pharmacists in pharmacies may not really consider from the perspective of patients for personal interests, and some are even fake drug crypt pharmacists without qualifications.

In fact, a number of relevant studies and surveys have shown that the drugs and medical devices of private pharmacies are higher than those of public hospitals as a whole.

However, this does not violate the relevant laws, because the current pricing of drugs sold by private pharmaceutical institutions has very open standards, and there are no extremely strict requirements, as long as it does not exceed the "red line" of the local market supervision and does not sell counterfeit drugs, it is not considered a violation and illegal operation.

After all, pharmacies are self-financed private stores, the purpose is to make money, they may push up the ** of a drug within the scope of the policy, which is normal.

Although the drugs in the hospital are all zero price differences, the level of ** is still affected by many factors. First of all, the cost of production of the drug itself is an important factor. Some pharmaceutical products may require expensive raw materials.

Or it requires a complex process to produce, so its ** will be relatively high. Secondly, the supply and demand of drugs will also affect**. If a drug is in high demand, but not enough, it will.

The current situation of the hospital is basically based on medical care medicine. There is no commission for the drugs sold. In the future, there may be a medical separation, and the hospital is only responsible for prescribing the medicine, and the patient goes to the pharmacy to buy the medicine with the prescription.

This practice may have its benefits, which is that pharmacies are more professional. Don't have to wait in line for hours to get your medicine. It is possible that it is more expensive to buy a single drug**.

Pharmacies will recommend drugs with high gross margins. The authenticity of the drugs in the pharmacy. At present, the management of the Food and Drug Administration is relatively strict, and counterfeit drugs are still relatively low in pharmacies.

If you don't want to believe in that kind of magic medicine, there will be basically no fakes for sale. There is also the need to go to chain pharmacies to buy medicines, the drugs are well managed, the quality is guaranteed, and the drugs are clear. Chain pharmacies should be strong.

He has to be real or not, because that's not the long term. Another important factor is the cost of medical services. In addition to the cost of the medicine itself, hospitals also need to pay for labor in the process of providing services.

equipment and management and other costs. These costs are reflected in the drug's **. In addition, policies and laws have an impact on medicines**. For example, some medicines may require patent protection.

This makes it impossible for other companies to imitate and produce, which makes these drugs expensive. In addition, there is a certain cost to the regulation of drugs.

The cost is also reflected, so although the hospital drugs are zero price difference, the level of drugs is affected by a variety of factors.

Expensive reasons:

First, the cost of physical pharmacies is relatively high, such as store fees, salaries for hired clerks, and various expenses every month, such as medical insurance cards, taxes, and so on.

Second, the pharmacist certificate must also pay money every year to study continuing education, otherwise it will be cancelled, and it will be hundreds every year.

Third, some drugs expire and cannot be sold, which also costs a relatively high cost.

Fourth, the cost of online pharmacies is much lower, which is not comparable, but it is convenient to buy drugs in physical pharmacies.

Fifth, pharmacies still rely mainly on health care products for profitability.

I am telling the truth, not favoring the pharmacy, hoping to answer the subject's confusion. Finally, I would like to remind you of a medicine buying skill, try to go to a large regular pharmacy to buy medicine, and some drugs are more affordable.

Other reasons: Merchants will take various discount measures for these near-expiration products, and they can be sold for one dollar for one dollar, we will not discuss this situation, we just hope that everyone will keep their eyes open when buying medicine online.

Another situation is caused by competition, not to mention whether this competition is malignant or benign, some drugs have profit margins, manufacturers do not maintain the best products, resulting in low-cost drugs appearing on the Internet, some drugs have no profit margins at all, everyone in order to grab business, on the vicious competition, in fact, there are many drugs in offline physical stores are sold with negative gross profits.

Drug prices are one of the topics that people are concerned about, and in 2015, Jiangsu public hospitals began to fully implement the zero price difference of drugs, which means that the drugs in the hospital will be sold according to the purchase price in the future, and the hospital will no longer increase the price.

The hospital supplies medicine at zero price difference.

Some medicines** are also higher than pharmacies.

Ms. Li, a citizen, reported to Purple Mountain News that she usually uses a blood pressure medicine called Bebot (valsartan amlodipine tablets), which is from Novartis Pharmaceutical. Ms. Li went to the hospital to dispense medicine, and the price of the drug in the hospital was 58 yuan a box (not counting fractions), but Ms. Li went to the pharmacy and Jingdong Pharmaceutical platform to consult, and found that the cheapest was only 45 yuan a box. Ms. Li expressed her doubts, "The price difference of 13 yuan a box is too much."

Hospitals are supposed to supply drugs at zero price difference, how can they be more expensive than pharmacies? ”

So what is the cheaper medicine in hospitals or pharmacies on the market now?

This was explored.

Mr. Sun, a citizen, went to the hospital for examination some time ago because of eye discomfort, and finally the hospital gave Mr. Sun 2 boxes of Beilin and Xuemingmu tablets, and the price of the drug in the hospital was 45 yuan a box. After visiting several pharmacies in Nanjing and comparing pharmaceutical platforms such as JD.com, it was found that the price of pharmacies and online platform pharmacies was around 50-55 yuan. Overall** pharmacies are a bit more expensive than hospital medicines.

Ms. Li, a citizen, came to the hospital for a respiratory infection, and she told reporters, "Cefdinir is a medicine commonly prescribed by doctors, and when I bought it in the hospital, a box was 54 yuan." I haven't bought a similar medicine before, so there is no comparison. "After comparing pharmacies and online platforms, it was found that in addition to hospitals, the price difference of this drug is also very large, ranging from 50 yuan to more than 60 yuan for a box of medicine**.

Some of the same medicines are more expensive than those prescribed by hospitals, but some are cheaper than those prescribed by hospitals.

Pharmacies: The specific price is set according to the market demand.

So why are some of the drugs in public hospitals more expensive than pharmacies after the implementation of zero price difference for drugs? In response to this problem, call 12331 Jiangsu Provincial Food and Drug Consulting Service**. The staff of the platform told reporters that there are a variety of drug purchase channels for all types of medical institutions at all levels in provinces and cities, among which hospitals purchase drugs from Senlead, mainly based on the unified bidding of various provinces and cities, and purchase drugs at the first determined bid price.

The drug price of pharmacies is not affected by **bidding**, and some **activities can be done according to their own business conditions, so some drugs in pharmacies will be lower than hospitals, but this is only a small part of the situation.

Why is there a price difference between hospitals and pharmacies in medicines, and some of the price differences are quite large?

In response to this problem, I visited several pharmacies located in Danfeng Street, and the staff of Xiansheng Zaikang Pharmacy said, "The drug itself has a purchase price, and the specific price is set by the pharmacy according to the market demand. However, there is generally a rebate for the sale of drugs in this friendly pharmacy, and the more the pharmacy buys at one time, the greater the rebate, so even if it is sold at a lower price than the wholesale price, it will generally not lose money. ”

Another clerk said that some drugs in pharmacies are indeed lower, and some customers also say that some medicines** are lower than those in hospitals. In fact, some drugs are not profitable, but this can attract people and drive the sales of other drugs.
