Why is there a large price gap between the same drug manufacturers?

The way drugs operate is different, resulting in different terminal sales prices of drugs. Manufacturers and merchants maintain a unified retail price to ensure the profits of dealers, and some varieties belong to the general medicine species by natural sales, which is relatively cheap and the profit margin is not large.

**Different times**The effect is also different, which has a certain relationship with the quality and the content of the drug, many times the price of the big brand will be higher, which is not only the drug itself** also contains the cost of publicity, but the effect is also good. Many times when you go to the pharmacy, the salesperson introduces you not to the brand, which is generally the opposite point given to them by the manufacturer, and the drug is not very expensive, and the consumer psychology will be balanced, but the content and effect of the drug can only be experienced by those who eat it.

If it's a brand and non-brand ratio, it's huge. When you buy its products, you also buy its advertisements. If they are all non-branded, it is expensive in the hospital, and the inexpensive is in the pharmacy.

There are many reasons for this, including production costs, transportation costs, different production processes and different raw materials.

It is common for different manufacturers to have different drug prices. Because of the different processes of pharmaceuticals, the different time of effect, the different forms of drugs, and the different costs of advertising, there is a price difference.

But the ingredients are the same, the dosage is the same, as long as it is not a fake drug, the effect should be much worse. Generally speaking, a good drug takes a little faster to reach the first concentration in the body, and the effect is faster, but after the concentration is reached, the effect is similar.

First, the origin is different, some drugs are authentic medicinal materials, some are artificially planted in a large area, and the efficacy of the same drug grown in different places is different. Second, the purchase channels are different, just like there are many pharmacies, and the same drug is sold at different prices in different pharmacies. There is also the interest factor, some people pursue the maximization of benefits, and some people are small profits but quick turnover.

So the difference is big. Drugs are also commodities, so there will be differences. Including the same drug in the same pharmacy** will also be different, because it is also related to supply and demand.

The same drug has the same effect, the same ingredients, the same measurement, the same specifications, just because the ** difference between different pharmaceutical factories is particularly large, there are several reasons, first, the quality of drug raw materials is different, there will be a price difference, the second production process is different, the third product publicity is different, this is the most important reason for the large price difference of the product, as well as packaging, the scope of product sales and many other reasons, will lead to the price difference.

The determination of sales is related to many factors, such as the cost of raw materials, production process, research and development costs, labor costs, marketing costs, advertising input costs and so on. The situation of each manufacturer is not the same, and the difference between the best and the best has appeared.

Different drugs are different, the main reason is that the production cost is different, each different manufacturer has different production equipment and different production processes, in this process there will be differences in production costs, which ultimately leads to the difference in production costs.

**The difference is mainly due to the brand effect, and the amount of ingredients, such as 100,000 units and 200,000 units** There is a lot of difference.

For example, if you take an injection or an oral drug, the same dose, but the concentration of the drug is different, then there will be a difference in the price.

The same drug, its effect is the same, the ingredients are the same, the dosage is the same, and the specifications are the same, why is the ** difference between different drug manufacturers very large?

Management is not in place.

This is very understandable.,How many bags of the same size material LV? How many are domestic?

Question: Is "buying medicine online" reliable? Why is it so much lower than a pharmacy? We often say, "People eat whole grains."

Indeed, in real life, medicine makes us a thing, so is "buying medicine online" reliable? Why is it so much lower than a pharmacy?

First of all, we have to know why it is cheap, in fact, it is not because of the rent problem, in fact, it is the capital competition to seize the market, this market is still relatively objective in the future, especially with the development of technology such as network medical care and network medical insurance, but this is not sustainable, just like Didi discounts, but then cut leeks. There should be no problem with selling drugs online, but it should also be noted that it is necessary to choose a nationally recognized, reputable online pharmacy to avoid being deceived, and you can check whether it has legal qualifications on the Food and Drug Administration.

or cash on delivery.

Secondly, there is a comparability to buy drugs online, and the same factory can also pick a cheap one, it must be cheap, (of course it is true), it is difficult to compare with the pharmacy to buy medicine, and it must be the most expensive to go into it, because as long as the pharmacy can buy it, you can set it yourself**, unless you often buy this drug, **know, you will not be fooled. Some can be some don't, why doesn't the country let go of online drug purchases, or some problems can not be solved, the main reason is that express delivery is a link of drug out of control, the country's regulatory authorities can not supervise, any link of offline sales is within the control range, this is the quality of the drug The country can count the accurate number of sales in each region.

It's a combination of both! One is that pharmacies think that they are strategically located and deliberately raise the price of drugs, coupled with the inaction of the Supervision Bureau, which has caused this situation; The other is that underground pharmaceutical factories produce "fake drugs" (the drugs are real, but they have not been approved), and due to the low cost, ** is naturally low.

First, retailers have different sales strategies, some hope for high profits, and some are willing to make small profits but quick turnover.

Second, the packaging is different, which means that the specifications are different, or the dosage form is different, so it is different.

3. Different packaging may also mean different batch numbers, that is, the production date is different, and the drugs with a near-expiration date must be washed.

Because the drug in the physical store is more expensive than the drug on the Internet, people don't know how much the drug should be sold for, so it has caused a lot of online pharmacies, and they will have a big gap in pricing.

Why is there a lot of difference between the same drugs sold online? I feel that some of the things on the Internet are fake, and the medicine is also fake, and the dosage of his medicine is insufficient.

In the same way, drugs bought online are very different, because there are no rents and other costs for drugs purchased online.

There are many reasons for the price difference of drugs, the most important of which is that the supply channels of different pharmacies are different, and the management and operating costs of each pharmacy are also different.

There is such a large price difference for the same drug, and the state's management of drugs is divided into three types: guiding pricing, pricing and market-independent pricing. For drugs that guide pricing, operators can independently formulate sales without breaking through the scope of regulations; For the most priced drugs, the operator must strictly implement its regulations and must not change it without authorization.

For drugs with market-regulated prices, the operators shall independently set the sales**. Drugs such as cold spirit granules produced by Sanjiu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. belong to the non-use drugs priced by the market, and for such drugs, they are reflected through the market, and generally will not be forcibly restricted and regulated by administrative means.

Summary. Hello, after inquiry, the same drug, bought online ** is very different because the drugs bought online generally show the factory price, is relatively cheap, but the hospital's drugs need to be operated, and the ** of the drugs are all adjusted after some adjustments, so the same drug, the ** bought online will be a lot different.

Why is there a lot of difference between the same drug and the ** bought online?

Hello, after inquiry, the same drug, bought online ** is very different because the drugs bought online generally show the factory price, is relatively cheap, but the hospital's drugs need to be operated, and the ** of the drugs are all adjusted after some adjustments, so the same drug, the ** bought online will be a lot different.

Of course, it is also because the specifications of the drugs are different and the dosage is different, so the same medicine is very different from the ** bought online.

Because each pharmacy has a different way of making profits, pharmacies will compete with each other to lower prices, and even sell drugs at a discount, so there will be two pharmacies selling one drug, but the price is completely different.

OneNow everyone will find that there are more and more pharmacies around them, and when we mention the price of drugs, many people will have certain complaints, not that the price of drugs is too expensive, but that the price of drugs is very unreliable, sometimes two adjacent pharmacies ** the same drug, but can be several times worse **, and even sometimes buy drugs need to try their luck, because the drugs in the hospital are more expensive than the drugs sold in the pharmacies outside, so many people choose to go outside to prescribe medicines.

IIIn the actual process of operation, I personally took the same medicine to several pharmacies, the result of each pharmacy is different, and then after my understanding, I knew why there is such a big sales gap, according to the person in charge of the pharmacy, each pharmacy sells drugs There is a certain difference, which is also a normal situation, because this has a great relationship with the economic strength of the pharmacy and the purchase channels and profit methods and the positioning of the pharmacy. Under normal circumstances, the drugs produced by the manufacturer directly go to the largest local pharmaceutical company, and finally the pharmaceutical company wholesales them to various pharmacies, and finally the pharmacies sell them to consumers.

IIIIn this way, you will find that on a street, there may be several pharmacies, because each pharmacy needs its own territory, and the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory will also reduce the price of sales in different areas, and even some pharmacies will lose money to sell drugs in order to accumulate contacts, which will cause the ** to become bigger and bigger, and now the competition in pharmacies is becoming more and more fierce, and even some pharmacies are opened opposite, each pharmacy has its own unique way, such as sending eggs, discounts, anyway, it is doing everything possible, It is to attract so many patients, a store manager I know said that some of the best drugs in their store are far below the cost price, although they lose money here but make money through other drugs, in short, they must attract people and make profits, so this situation will occur.

Because the two pharmacies compete with each other, it may be a ** battle, so the price difference is so big.

Answer: Except for a small number of drugs that implement the ** guide price, other drugs implement market adjustment prices. Usually, pharmacies will formulate drug retail according to the national standard of centralized procurement, according to the purchase price of drugs and the guide price of pharmaceutical factories. At the same time, pharmacies will adjust in real time according to their own business conditions and sales strategies**.

The person in charge said that in retail, the main factors that affect the pricing of pharmacies are market competition, housing rents and other factors. For the same pharmacy chain, the cost of operating in a non-moving area will also affect**. In this regard, the relevant staff of the Medical Security Bureau of Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone said that according to the spirit of the document "Opinions on Doing a Good Job in the Management of Current Drugs" of the National Medical Security Bureau, adhere to the overall direction of regulating drugs by the market.

Operating enterprises can independently price and adjust drugs** according to market conditions, so different manufacturers and different brands of drugs** will be different.

The price difference between the two pharmacies for the same drug is twice as big, and the difference is so big because the owners are different and the stores are located in different locations. In some good locations, the rent is expensive, and the things are also expensive.

Depending on the brand's marketing strategy and market positioning, the same drug with the same characteristics will have different**. Frankly, the ** effect is not much different from the expensive one compared to the expensive one, yes, the difference between the process and the auxiliary materials is not big at best, but this small difference is negligible! There are also more expensive brick-and-mortar pharmacies, as there are rents and various management fees and commissions from pharmacy to pharmacy, so it will be much higher!

I think that the gap between them is so big, it is likely that the purchase channels are different, although it is the same medicine, but if you take the medicine from different people, then it is different.

Because each pharmacy has different purchase channels, the corresponding purchase price is also different, so there is a huge difference.

Because the management and sales of drugs are different between these two pharmacies, and the people they face are different, the gap is so big.

The pricing system is different, and some stores set the profit point very high, and if they want to make more money, they will be much higher than the market price.

The main reason is that some pharmacies want to raise the ** of the drug and make a little more money, and the gap will be bigger.

The drug itself is also a product, and the process from the producer to the consumer (patient) follows the basic rules of commodity circulation and has its own particularities.

Innovator drugs refer to new drugs that have been developed originally. It usually takes more than ten years of research and development time and hundreds of millions of dollars to develop the original drug, and it is only after thousands of layers of screening and rigorous clinical trials that it can be approved for marketing, and generally only large pharmaceutical companies and multinational pharmaceutical companies have the ability to develop them.

In China, the original drug mainly refers to the imported drug that has passed the patent protection period, the original drug is very expensive during the patent protection period, and it will be much lower after the patent protection period, but it is also more expensive than similar drugs. Generic drugs generally refer to drugs manufactured in imitation of the original drug that has been patented, and pharmaceutical companies usually apply for patent protection after developing the original drug.

After the patent protection expires, other companies can only manufacture and sell generic drugs with the approval of the relevant authorities, otherwise it is infringement. In terms of cost, the cost of generic drugs is much lower than that of original drugs, because many key R&D steps and capital investment have been completed by the original R&D enterprises.

Imitation enterprises only need to invest in production costs. For example, the leukemia drug "Gleevec" in the movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine", which is based on real events, is manufactured by Novartis in Switzerland and is in the patent period.

The price of a box is more than 20,000 yuan, but a box of similar drugs manufactured by Indian pharmaceutical companies is only three or four hundred yuan, a difference of twenty or thirty times, but the behavior of Indian pharmaceutical companies in the movie is illegal in China and European and American countries.
