        So-called "conscience medicine do correction of pharmaceutical finally apologized. "On the suspected chromium overweight antelope cold capsule processing process announcement", this article the belated apology notice was issued in "problem capsule" by the media, four days after the exposure, and announcement content words after careful consideration, afraid to pull alone responsibility.

        A loud box on the ear. April 19,, the national food, the administration's myself to release the results of first capsule drugs sampling observation, the market in 33 varieties 42 batches, there are 23 batch is unqualified, show fixed pharmaceutical etc nine previous exposure enterprise are products by chrome to exceed bid. The administration's urge the related province the food and drug administration bureau illegal enterprise to be serious to deal with.

        Serious processing is how to deal with? As early as in 2004, fucheng was media exposure used in food industry of gelatin, local vendors and even at that time, "said the glue is all industrial fucheng glue, but 90% of all eat." Use industry manufacturing capsule enterprise gelatin, may had never heard of enterprise and the social responsibilities, money is the hard truth, which tube got others live or die. But those so-called famous medicine enterprises have also ignore the social responsibilities, this incredible.

        8 years, the production of industrial gelatin enterprise resurgent, as the exposure of the nine medicine enterprises, whether have been using industrial gelatin do poison capsule? Poison capsule events are media exposure, suspected of using poison capsule nine medicine enterprises, some for yourself, also some keep silent, the public want to hear "apologize" voice all difficult to! The more prominent related enterprise to social responsibility ignored.

        These medicine enterprises of "dirty" lift, even a network hacker can not see the past. Fixed pharmaceutical's website from April 15 night since that hackers breach, a short period after returning to normal, and on April 16, black again. Tonghua golden horse and qinghai Gladys dandong two companies also have been black's website.

        Abide by the laws and regulations are often seen as to corporate social responsibility of the basic requirements, the medicine enterprises plainly article this yardstick, even some enterprise proposed "the 2000 edition pharmacopoeia does not require inspection chrome content" view. Health minister Chen middle&small April 18 afternoon said: capsule heavy metal exceeds bid management according to law, have the responsibility to entrepreneurs should undertake the social responsibility. In fact, Chinese medicine packing association in early 2007 was formulated gelatin hollow capsule association standard, consult standard "food additive gelatin" regulation, clear said: "in order to limit the use of inferior leather making gelatin production capsule specially make chrome content index. Index provisions for no more than 2 mg/kg." But also provided detailed test methods.

        Medicine enterprises purchase of raw materials, the first to be approved by the inspection, the quality standard in the production of write clearly, including raw material models, producing area, even packing will acceptance, but poison capsule into these well-known pharmaceutical companies but pronouncement that they didn't do the responsibility of the inspection.

        Enterprise in order to reduce costs can abandon laws and regulations in sight, and is our illegal cost is too low? In many developed countries, pharmaceutical enterprise even out a small flaws, will bring hefty fines. In 2010, the world pharmaceutical giant British glaxosmithkline PLC is accused of selling 20 kinds of security a dubious drugs, including contaminated ointment, baby invalid antidepressant drugs and some spoofing drugs. These drugs are glaxosmithkline PLC in Puerto Rico's a pharmaceutical factory production, and the pharmaceutical factory is closed, glaxo's paid a $750 million fine. In 2009, the United States pharmaceutical enterprise Pfizer in marketing deliberately exaggerated drug applicable scope, soaked by the government $2.3 billion. These drugs for violations of processing, is worth our using for reference?

        Industrial gelatin scare and not the end. The poison after capsule, and spread a dairy brand in manufacturing industrial gelatin yogurt to join. From Sudan red for melamine, again to today's industrial gelatin, safety problems become of enduring issue. It is a tragedy. In addition to related department to regulation is not in place, each enterprise is also should rethink, enterprise exactly is who do for product? Enterprise to who is responsible? When an enterprise manufacturing products can cause panic among consumers, whether the enterprise have necessary?
