Why are many proprietary Chinese medicines now much more expensive than Western medicines?

Traditional Chinese medicine is grass in the wild, and medicine is medicine in the hands of doctors, and the doctor of Chinese medicine charges you a fee including his intellectual property fees, whether it is expensive or not, the level of the doctor.

Persuade the landlord to add a predicate when talking about Chinese medicine in the future, you should say that it is the hospital's Chinese medicine, and don't refer to Chinese medicine in general, the real Chinese medicine will not charge you like this, and you will say another when you encounter **.

The retail price is due to the increase in the ex-factory price, and the raw material is not a Chinese patent medicine.

What about the fuse of the price increase? The reporter made a new discovery in the wholesale market of Chinese medicinal materials in Yunnan.

Kunming Luoshi Bay medicinal materials market turned around and found that the price increase of Chinese medicinal materials this year is more obvious than gastrodia.

Other Chinese herbal medicines did not rise much. Then the reporter took the gastrodia dispelling wind patch and the Liuwei Dihuang pill.

For the ingredient list of these three medicinal materials, consult with the herb dealer. Among these ingredients, are there any traditional Chinese medicines that have increased in price this year?

Wholesale owner of the medicinal herb store: Gastrodia has risen a little higher this year, and the price of chrysanthemums has risen.

The owner of the medicinal herb wholesale store: You don't need to look at Liuwei Dihuang Pill, and the price of raw materials has basically not increased.

The reporter learned that in the composition of Sangju Yinqiaosanli, Sichuan fritillary.

The market price has always been relatively high, as high as thousands of yuan per kilogram. And the cicada molts.

In previous years, it was one kilogram of yuan, but this year it has risen to one kilogram of yuan.

On the whole, among the raw materials of the three medicines of Gastrodia Difeng Patch, Liuwei Dihuang Pill and Sangju Yinqiaosan, at present, in addition to the doubling of the cicada in Sangju Yinqiaosan, the gastrodia in Gastrodia Dispelling Wind Patch has risen by an average of 100 yuan per kilogram, and the other medicinal ingredients are basically the same as in previous years, and at most they will only be dozens of yuan more expensive per kilogram.

A friend of mine has angina pectoris and high blood pressure.

The body is also relatively fat, many hospitals have seen it, he has not eaten less medicine, he has done a lot of examinations, and the provincial hospital requires him to put a stent. Usually, the monthly cost of medicine is also five or six hundred yuan. By chance, I accompanied a person who had cancer.

Relatives went to Nanjing to catch traditional Chinese medicine (cancer patients have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for five years, and cancer cells can no longer be detected. Relatives suggested that he also take Chinese medicine, and my friend insisted on taking Chinese medicine for a year, which cost more than 20,000 yuan, and now his weight has come down, his blood pressure is not high, and he has a heart attack.

It's okay too. If the hospital puts a stent, it will cost more than 20,000 yuan, right?

I can't say how much it costs to see a doctor, but how do you compare it with whom?

It is because of the scarcity of materials in traditional Chinese medicine, and the cost of production is high, so traditional Chinese medicine is generally more expensive than Western medicine.

Because Western medicine is synthesized, its output is unlimited, Chinese medicine depends on what kind of medicine, generally renewable herbs are cheaper, ginseng is also considered traditional Chinese medicine, better ginseng, deer antler, cordyceps, more expensive than gold, why? Scarcity is expensive.

It is because the ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine are actually very difficult to collect, and then he is not that kind of pill, and then it is generally a more precious craft, and it is also slowly inherited.

The material of this medicine is very difficult to find and is very precious, so it is much more expensive than Western medicine.

Although there is zero price difference for hospital drugs, there are many reasons why drugs are expensive, and here are some possible reasons:

1.High cost of drug production: The production cost of drugs involves multiple links such as R&D, production, and sales, including the cost of raw materials, equipment, labor, etc., which will directly or indirectly affect the drug**.

2.High procurement costs for hospitals: Hospitals also need to pay certain costs when purchasing drugs, including logistics, warehousing, management and other expenses.

3.Drug management costs: Hospitals need to pay for the management of drugs, including pharmacy labor, equipment maintenance, inventory management, etc.

4.Drug market pricing mechanism: The drug market's laughing pricing mechanism will also affect drugs**. Negotiations with drug manufacturers, medical insurance payment standards, drug supervision, etc. will affect the formation of drugs.

5.Market monopoly: Some large pharmaceutical companies have monopolized the production and sales of certain special drugs, resulting in high quality, which is also an important reason for the high level of drugs.

In short, the high cost of drugs is caused by a variety of reasons, and the zero price difference policy of hospitals is only one of them. In order to solve the problem of spinal surplus drugs, it is necessary to establish a reasonable pricing mechanism and regulatory system from multiple aspects such as supervision, market competition, and drug production, so as to ensure that patients can obtain high-quality and low-cost drugs.

Traditional Chinese medicine is actually not expensive at all, if you have a cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction, you will be reimbursed for 60% a day or a few thousand yuan, and you have to pay about 400 yuan a day, and the cost of Chinese medicine for a month is about 1000 yuan, only those who are for the purpose of profit pay 100 yuan of traditional Chinese medicine, and the doctor who really treats the disease and saves people pays about 30 yuan at most.

I don't know why such a question is raised, but when we first ask this question, we should know what Chinese medicine is for. Who knows that Chinese medicine is a cure. What about real-world applications?

How much can be cured when all cancers are in Western medicine? Tests are expensive, chemotherapy is expensive, and those expensive western medicines. It seems that no one has ever said that it is expensive, because in Western medicine it is a terminal disease.

is a person who is about to die, is money expensive in front of life? The answer is no.

To change the scene, a patient who also has cancer takes a medicine from a Chinese medicine practitioner and takes it for a week, about 300 hundreds. If you meet an old Chinese medicine doctor who can distinguish between syndromes, you can also cure the disease. Why do many people think it's expensive?

Because their philosophy is wrong, they think that Chinese medicine is just for health preservation! If it's a regimen, 300 500 for seven days is indeed a bit expensive. But Chinese medicine is to find the root cause and help you really eliminate the disease.

Nonsense, Chinese medicine practitioners prescribe medicines, and patients take the prescriptions to the pharmacy to buy Chinese medicine, which is actually very cheap, a pair of Chinese medicine is only a few dozen yuan at most, and picking up 20 pairs is only a few hundred yuan, which is less than 10/10 of the machine inspection fee of Western medicine, how can it be expensive???

Writing this title must be Western medicine people or Chinese medicine black, or people who don't know the situation are talking nonsense! When is Chinese medicine more expensive than Western medicine? Can black and white be reversed? Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the Wuhan epidemic, and traditional Chinese medicine will be.

Three, five hundred yuan, the effect is also very good, the effective rate is also more than 90%, traditional Chinese medicine has also extinguished the epidemic in Wuhan, and what about Western medicine**? Isn't there 400,000 to get it? And what about the effect?

How much is the ineffective death? How effective is it? What are the sequelae?

Therefore, there are always some people who like to talk nonsense with their conscience and talk nonsense with their eyes closed!

Traditional Chinese medicine is not medicine, it is a gift from nature.

Traditional Chinese medicine, the history of this earth, is older than human beings, and they have existed on the earth since before human beings. Because of this characteristic, their number is limited, and human demands appear somewhat greedy and insatiable.

The main reason is that the cost of inspection is too high, I don't know if you have found it, every time the pharmacopoeia is upgraded, traditional Chinese medicine will soar, because of the upgrade of the pharmacopoeia, the number of items inspected, enterprises want to buy equipment, a device of millions have, the reference is also very expensive, small enterprises go bankrupt, large enterprises survive, of course, the cost of testing is allocated to the first, and finally it is the payment for the drug.

Medicine is not valuable, knowing what medicine can cure your illness is valuable. Prescriptions are worthless, there are thousands of them in books. Knowing which remedies are right for you is worth the money. Chinese people are not accustomed to paying for consultation, so they have to spread the consultation fee among the medicine, which makes the medicine expensive.

The effect is the basis for judging whether the price of the drug is reasonable. If you encounter more serious patients a day, it is not expensive to charge a few hundred dime.

The processing procedures of traditional Chinese medicine are also complex, and the current labor cost is generally acceptable, and the current traditional Chinese medicine is not as fake as some time ago.

The amount that can be reported by the medical insurance card has been reduced, and Chinese herbal medicine is not covered by medical insurance, so it is worth a fortune.

The rent of opening a Chinese medicine hall is high

The title was originally intended to denigrate traditional Chinese medicine. Willow is also a traditional Chinese medicine, is willow strips expensive? The black Chinese medicine is either a traitor or a Western medical businessman.

Traditional Chinese medicine is much cheaper than Western medicine.

The medicinal herbs we picked up in the mountains were not expensive at all.

Chinese medicine is calculated by the kilogram in the trading market, but it is calculated by the gram in pharmacies.

Our current social development has entered a very good period, and there are many problems of paying attention to their physical health after work, and middle-aged people generally prefer to use the important to regulate their bodiesAt this time, you will find out why you go to the pharmacy to buy traditional Chinese medicine, the same medicine, but the ** is very different? I think it may be because even if it is the same drug, the ingredients and years are different, so the difference will be very large.

Although it is the same drug, some drugs may be graded, such as *** and poor quality** will be a lot different, and then their purchase channels are different, some purchase channels ** are relatively cheap, and some have middlemen ** will be more expensive.

It is normal for different pharmacies to have a gap between different pharmacies for the same drug, and the merchant's purchase channels, store rents, drug activities, etc., will affect the merchant's pricing, and conventional drugs are priced by pharmacies independently.

The main reason for this is that the same drug is produced in different places, ** is different, the quality is different, and ** is also different. And the different origins determine its different quality. So the difference is huge.

When you go to a pharmacy to buy traditional Chinese medicine, the same kind of medicine, but the reason for the great difference may be the transportation cost, purity, and year, when the transportation cost of a medicinal material is high, the purity is good, and the year is high, then this medicine is very different from another drug**.

Hello! I'm glad to answer your question, the pharmacy of traditional Chinese medicine, the same kind of medicine is very different, this is because each of the same variety of traditional Chinese medicine, due to their different origins, some are wild, and some are artificially planted, so that the efficacy and effect of these traditional Chinese medicine will be different, the effect will be different, the purchase price of traditional Chinese medicine is also very different, this is the pharmacy of traditional Chinese medicine, the same kind of medicine ** is very different reason, I hope my answer can help you, I hope you can adopt.

Now there is a kind of anger on the Internet, that is, people who enter pharmacies are entering black shops, those who open pharmacies are murderous, pharmacies only pursue profits, the clerks are all junior high school graduates, and the quality is not high, pharmacies have a black conscience to push up gross profit products, and pharmacies send eggs to harm the elderly ......How much of an objective and rational part is there in this anger? I don't think it's much. Including the question, why is the ** of the drug so expensive?

Why don't you ask why you used to buy a dress for 100 yuan, but now you can't buy a shoe for 1000 yuan? Why don't you ask if you used to burn cakes for two cents a piece, but now you have one piece? Why don't you ask if you used to build a house for 20,000 yuan, but now you can't even buy a toilet?

Why don't you ask the ancestors of the 10,000 yuan household in the past, but now the deposit of 500,000 yuan can't even get a wife? ......When you see these, why don't you ask, just ask if the pharmacy sells drugs expensive?

Okay, since the price of medicine is too expensive, let's start from scratch. My answer can be copied casually.

We know that the selling price of a commodity is made up of the purchase price and the profit. Either of these two improvements will cause an increase in **. (So why is most of the anger on the Internet spewing into pharmacies?) ）

First of all, the same drug is more expensive than before, and the biggest reason is that the purchase price is expensive, which is the main reason. (Here I admit that many drugs are cheaper, and they are much cheaper, for example, Plavix, for example, Baisangping is dozens of times cheaper than before.) This is due to the centralized procurement that began only the year before last.

However, in addition to the drugs that are centrally purchased, most of the drugs are in price increase. I'll talk more about this later. ）

The ** of hospital drugs is 0 price difference, but the ** of drugs is still very expensive, the main reasons are the following:

One is the production cost of drugs. The development, production and marketing of drugs all cost a lot of money. Drug research and development requires a large number of laboratory studies and clinical trials, which require a lot of human, material and financial resources.

At the same time, the production of pharmaceuticals requires the use of high-end equipment and technology, which are also very expensive to invest in. In addition, the production process of pharmaceuticals needs to comply with various legal regulations and quality standards, which also increases production costs.

Second, the operating costs of medical institutions are high.

The operating costs of medical institutions are also one of the reasons for the high level of medicines. Medical institutions need to pay for various expenses such as staff salaries, procurement of medical equipment and medical supplies, rent, water and electricity, etc., which are married to medicines**. Especially in large general hospitals, these costs are even more prohibitive.

In addition, medical institutions also need to invest huge amounts of money in health and epidemic prevention, medical quality control, etc., which is also part of the operating costs of medical institutions.

The third is the cost of drug circulation.

In the process of circulation, drugs also need to go through middlemen in various links, such as wholesalers, retailers, merchants, etc., and each link needs to extract a part of the profits, which ultimately makes the drug high.

Fourth, the drug pricing system.

In China, the pricing of drugs is uniformly regulated by the state, and the price difference of drugs is 0, but there are deficiencies in the drug pricing system. First of all, the adjustment is slow, and it often takes several years or even longer to make an adjustment, resulting in a lag. Secondly, due to the high cost of R&D and production of drugs, and the high cost of drugs, the best of drugs is restricted by national policies, which also makes it difficult for some drugs to make profits, resulting in a lack of market for some drugs.

Therefore, in order to reduce the drug **, it is necessary to start from many aspects. First of all, the state should speed up the adjustment of drugs to ensure that drugs match the cost of production. Secondly, it is necessary to optimize the operating environment of medical institutions and reduce the operating costs of medical institutions, so as to reduce drugs**.

At the same time, it is necessary to optimize the drug circulation link and reduce the profit extraction of intermediate links. Finally, it is necessary to improve the drug pricing system to better balance the relationship between drug ** and R&D and production costs. Only with the efforts of many parties can we really reduce the number of drugs and benefit more people.
