Healthday: combining traditional be so "complement each other"

Wu jie (doctor)

        Recently, the "white cloud mountain brand" proprietary Chinese medicine cold clear capsule is Hong Kong department of health detection contain western medicine "acetaminophen" and are being recalled. Baiyun mountain company has a possible violation of the public health and municipal regulations and other laws of Hong Kong, which is faced with severe punishment. The United States food and drug administration warned that taking too many contain acetaminophen component of the drug may hurt liver, and life threatening. (October 12,, the daily economic news)

        western medicine quick effect, Chinese traditional medicine small side effects, between the traditional actually disadvantages, actually, which is better or worse still thering is no lack of competition and even dispute. However, between western and Chinese medicine of complement each other, have already have of combination of Chinese and western medicine therapy, so, traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine between, seem to also don't have to make so deadly, remains clearly. In traditional Chinese medicine that detect the western medicine composition, so "of traditional combination" and maybe also true can score a lucky hit out what specific to come.

        However, such a pharmaceutical production field great "innovation", and incredibly check no original, proprietary Chinese medicine for the western medicine composition actually no, but also find a debt. Despite being seized Hong Kong department of health of the cold clear capsule is "baiyun mountain brand", but not the drug baiyun mountain says the manufacturers, and the quality problem by agreement shall be responsible for the processing of party line, even a drug manufacturer is who, baiyun mountain also have not revealed. And Hong Kong department of health of the initial investigation showed that "baiyun mountain brand" cold clear capsules in mainland China manufacturing, the only responsible for entrance trip after the outer packing, in the packaging program by the possibility of pollution in low.

        For "of traditional combination" innovation, all parties are so modesty, really quite explicit manner. But, clearly is a "white cloud mountain brand" cold clear capsule, baiyun mountain was much more in medicine other components of the credit with both hands.and reaching, seems to have some say not the past. After all, even if is to entrust production, the agreement processing, since their own brand posted, in fact, is that his "children", nature has to drug ingredients and quality had no knowledge, refused to responsible for truth. However, as at least business logic, proprietary Chinese medicine have found the white cloud mountain western medicine composition, and refuse to buy this idea, not only cannot help clarify the fact, instead of making people more worried about what is the secret of the skeletons.

        And more diao paradoxical is, according to the announcement of baiyun mountain, export Hong Kong's "cold clear capsule" prescription for all Chinese traditional medicine, does not contain the western medicine composition, the quality standard according to the GMP standard production, the processing of all the products exported to Hong Kong, not in the mainland sales, but in the mainland to some common all contain acetaminophen in cold medicine. Implication, is also a proprietary Chinese medicine, unexpectedly is internal and external vary, a Hong Kong incredibly want to recall, and even will be facing severe punishment of drugs in the country, is fully qualified.

        However, the mainland enterprises are common in medicine of traditional Chinese medicine to join the western medicine composition of behavior, and are common in Chinese medicine in western medicine composition added, the reason also it is not difficult to fathom. If only taking proprietary Chinese medicine, the effect is slow I'm afraid unavoidable, since it added the western medicine, borrows the effect of western medicine, the efficacy is greatly enhanced, the patient to use feeling will ascend, drug sales nature also have more guarantee. And in medicine enterprises for profit under the appeal, the patient's right to know and even the use of drug safety, then had to care. And this kind of traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine "unspoken rules", actually on the implied a health and safety risk, from think take Chinese traditional medicine is taking the western medicine composition, also will lead to excessive medication hidden trouble, even endanger the patient's life. And the lack of domestic drug regulatory standards and is not standard, it is traditional Chinese medicine edition "orange born huaibei" provides the deformity of the soil.
