A major tragedy in the history of China s pharmaceutical industry, pagoda sugar once swept the count

No one knows why it disappeared suddenly, but the medicine did work very well in the first place.

Pagoda sugar ** ascariasis, once loved by parents, but later due to the shortage of artemisia seeds, the raw material of pagoda sugar, resulting in the inability to produce pagoda sugar in batches.

Because this pagoda candy is actually the kind of insect fighting medicine, after which China has developed a substitute, so it disappeared.

Pagoda sugar was born in response to the timesThe main raw material of pagoda sugar is ascarisPagoda Sugar withdrew from the stage of historyIn 1982, China's scientific researchers continued to work hard and finally developed a new insecticide that could replace pagoda sugar. The major pharmaceutical companies have finally stopped planting and producing roundworms. So far, the pagoda candy that has swept the country has become a legend and remains in the memories of the previous generation.

Why did the "pagoda sugar", which was very popular at the end of the last century, suddenly disappear without a trace?

"Pagoda sugar" is also roundworm medicine. In the past, people did not pay attention to hygiene, and there were often roundworms in their stomachs, so they needed to eat "pagoda candy" to get rid of roundworms in their stomachs. Later, people began to pay attention to hygiene, and there were no more roundworms in the stomach, and there was no longer a need for "pagoda sugar".

Pagoda sugar is an anthelmintic drug that repels roundworms and hookworms in the body, but slowly people's quality of life has improved, and the body is not very good at worms, so it slowly disappears.

It has not disappeared, pagoda candy is actually a medicine to repel roundworms, and there are still some of them, most of them are taken by children.

The first thing to say is that the current pagoda candy is not the same as the previous pagoda sugar, and the ingredients are different. In the past, the main ingredient of pagoda sugar was Artemisia annua. The current pagoda sugar is not made with artemisia.

Many people blame the movement for the disappearance of pagoda sugar. It is believed that the movement led to the extinction of Artemisia annua. In fact, even without that movement, it is absolutely inevitable that pagoda sugar will withdraw from history.

Because the cost of growing Artemisia is too high. At the beginning, only one state farm was successful in trial planting. All others were declared unsuccessful.

In China, which was poor and white, and the state-owned economy was absolutely dominant, usefulness was the first consideration of the state, followed by cost. In view of the severe parasitic diseases in the country at that time, there was no second option at that time except for pagoda sugar. However, with the development of the economy, the insecticide with lower cost and better efficacy has been developed, and there is no need for pagoda sugar to exist.

In other words, even if Artemisia annua is not extinct, pagoda sugar will eventually retire from the stage of history and become a sweet memory for a generation.

Why is the once smash hit pagoda candy almost invisible now? After reading it, I finally knew.

Pagoda sugar is not actually a sugarIt is a drug used to repel roundworms and hookworms, and its scientific name is levamisoleI ate this kind of candy when I was a child, I remember one time, my mother took two out, let me and my sister two of them one each, in the 80s in the countryside materials were relatively scarce, I ate one, I saw my sister holding the one that belonged to her in ** slowly licking, so I directly snatched my sister's one, so my sister cried a lot about it, and now I still feel funny when I think about it.

Pagoda Candy Introduction:Pagoda sugar, also known as "insect sugar", its appearance is mainly related to a kind of roundworm that appears in people's body, before people's living standards are not high, the living environment is poor, people are not so particular about the concept of hygiene, relatively speaking, it will be better in the city, especially in the rural conditions are much worsePoor living environmentAs a result, when people eat, a lot of bacteria will enter people's bodies.

It's good for adults to have high immunity, but it's not good for children, these bacteria accumulate in the body, and breed a kind of nematode in the human stomach, which is usually what people call roundwormsAfter children have roundworms in their bodies, they are accompanied by fever, cough, asthma, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and other phenomena, in short, it is very uncomfortable and seriously affects the healthy growth of children.

It is in such a situation that there is a great need for a drug that can quickly expel the insect from peopleLater, some medical experts found that Artemisia annua, which originated in the former Soviet Union, had a good effect on fighting this roundworm, so they vigorously introduced Artemisia annua seeds from the former Soviet Union for the production of drugs for the treatment of roundwormsIn order to solve this problem, researchers have taken great pains to make this drug into the style of candy, so that most children like to eat it very much, so that the pagoda candy as an insect medicine has come to people's side, helping many children in China to solve the problem of roundworms.

In the 8090s, people's material life was still very low, almost everyone would have roundworms in their bodies, and pagoda sugar had the effect of paralyzing roundworms, and it tasted very sweet, children loved to eat, because the appearance was like a pagoda, so it was named pagoda sugar.

Pagoda sugar, also known as worm sugar, is to drive away roundworms in the human body, the development of a candy-like shape of the drug, the previous medical scientists found that the artemisia native to the former Soviet Union has a very good effect on roundworms, but the drug is more bitter, children are unwilling to eat, so later researchers made this drug into candy style, so that children like, so there is a popular pagoda sugar across the country.

Pagoda sugar is shaped like a pagoda, especially loved by children in the fifties of the last century, in fact, its real role is to be used for the ascariasis that raged in our country in the fifties of the last century, and the main ingredient of pagoda sugar is Artemisia.

Pagoda sugar is actually a kind of medicine, which is specially used to treat roundworms in children's stomachs, and the insecticide is made into candy shaped like a pagoda, so that children will no longer resist taking medicine.

"Pagoda sugar" once swept the country, why did it suddenly disappear? Ask what the USSR did.

The "pagoda sugar" that was once popular all over the country, why is it almost invisible now? After reading it, I understand.

First of all, when pagoda sugar is becoming more and more popular, it is getting cheaper and cheaper, and no pharmaceutical company is willing to produce it. Secondly, the raw material for the production of pagoda sugar, Artemisia annua, is gone, and relations with the Soviet Union have deteriorated, and it is not easy to introduce it. Finally, there are other ** roundworm drugs that replace the pagoda sugar.

At that time, pagoda candy was mainly used to deworm children in the body, and now children will pay more attention to their diet, and pagoda candy has no meaning of existence.

Because of this candy, it is intended for the ascaris disease in people's bodies. With the advancement of science and technology, there are fewer and fewer parasites in people's bodies, so the need for it is gone.
