According to media reports, it is easy to catch a cold season, recently have citizens to buy medicine, buy before purchase, white and black, such as drug registration id card, and now it spared the procedures. Since 2012, the state food and drug administration, the ministry of public security, the ministry of health jointly issued "on the strengthening containing ephedrine compound preparations management related issues notice, require real-name registration contain ephedrine purchase drugs, to prevent the use of the ingredients and the requirement of the drug has not been changed. The trouble is that part of the pharmacy is not in strict accordance with the provisions of registration, buyers need to provide id number, and online purchasing medicine more without verification link.

Most cold medicine (e.g., white and black, purchase, cefuroxime hemp nasal drops, etc.) contain ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, extract such criminals after refining can become meth, it's enough to make ordinary people feel shocked. According to expert introduction, a box of purchase (10 / box) can extract pseudoephedrine about 0.9 grams, a 100 ml bottle of cefuroxime hemp nasal drops costs are just a few dollars, you can extract 0.1 grams of methamphetamine. If there is a high technology, 1 gram of ephedrine can refine 0.75 grams of methamphetamine. While methamphetamine market price is in 100 yuan/about 0.1 grams.

As the public security departments to increase the drug investigation and crackdown, especially after cutting off the source of precursor chemicals, some criminals targeting the relatively easy access to drugs, it is used as raw material drug. Media reports, 2009 to 2011, the national captured into illegal channels of ephedrine compound preparations of 120.47 tons. Use drug manufacturing, several times can earn profits. In such a high profits, criminals will racking their brains for pharmaceutical production to the sales process in all possible loopholes. Relatively loose management of retail pharmacy became short of medicine management.

Because of this, aiming at the problem of ephedrine compound preparations into drug channels, related departments, loneliness not deregulation. As early as 2010, the agency will be included in the food and drug safety rectification work content; In September 2012, officially adopted "cold medicine real-name". Practice has proved that through the system to strengthen the limit of cold medicine buyers, for the use of cold medicine refined drug wrongdoing, has played a certain regulation effect. To put it bluntly, the implementation of "cold medicine real-name" although would add some trouble to the public to buy medicine, but it can reduce drug criminals by the space of the drug.

In fact, the purchase and the system is not the original. In the United States, at present there are 41 states have restricted measures for ephedrine such drugs, requirements as a prescription drug treatment, buy this kind of need to be approved by the licensed pharmacists in the drug, and record the personal information.

Oddly, however, "notice" has been implemented for more than 3 years, why buy certain ephedrine class cold medicine or easy? Has been blamed on two aspects: one, in order to obtain more economic benefits, pharmacies and other pharmaceutical sales enterprise lost the enthusiasm of carrying out the rules, will also should bear the social responsibility of abandon of; Both, the supervision of the relevant departments of the pressure is not enough, thus, the pharmaceutical trading enterprises, "more than the less about" unwilling to carry out real-name registration. In this way, "notice" has gradually lost its power, real-name buy medicine system in some pharmacies in name only it is not surprising. After all, drug profits drives desperate drug molecules, and work hard to get medicine.

Should admit that given the current regulatory system and enterprise credit conditions, "cold medicine real-name" it is difficult to play the corresponding effect, bearing no drug. On the one hand, the current drug sales has not build system of real-name purchase networking, regulators are hard to real-time control of drug distribution, if the company intends to avoid responsibility, risk aversion, bypass the purchase and sale this link, for extracorporeal circulation is not too difficult; Even if, on the other hand, enterprises follow this rule, but to bypass the real-name limit is actually quite simple, if the seller and the buyer teamed up together, the effect of real-name system will disappear in the invisible.

The life of the system is to perform, and execute without responsibility. Therefore, strengthen the supervision of containing ephedrine compound preparations real-name buy inspections, will continue to implement real-name buy medicine system, safeguard is real-name buy medicine to implement key. In particular, as long as the relevant regulatory authorities to strengthen supervision, regular monitoring and inspection of pharmaceutical sales enterprise is not containing ephedrine and establish the drug to normal monitoring mechanism, supervise and urge enterprise strictly implement the "notice" requirements, and sold in violation of provisions contain ephedrine pharmaceutical enterprises with a punishment, containing ephedrine drugs circulation regulation will be more normative legal. At the same time, open prize reporting channel, through the colossal whistleblower way of improving public participation, reduce the pharmaceutical sales enterprise of space such as pharmacy, is also an indispensable measures.
