Responding to the incident involving leather gelatin in pharmaceutical companies

On June 6th, 65438, the State Food and Drug Administration of the United States issued an urgent notice, requesting to suspend the sale and use of 13 medicinal hollow capsule products because of the suspected chromium exceeding the standard.

The State Food and Drug Administration of the United States said that it had instructed the relevant provincial food and drug administrations to carry out supervision and inspection and product inspection on the problem of chromium exceeding the standard reported by the media, and sent personnel to the site for supervision.

Products that have stopped selling and using will continue to be sold after the results of supervision and inspection and product inspection are clear, and unqualified products will be dealt with according to law. Enterprises that illegally produce, sell and use medicinal hollow capsules will be severely punished according to law. Revise the pharmaceutical industry to cooperate with the re-inspection

On 16, after the incident of "making medicinal capsules with industrial gelatin" was exposed, the pharmaceutical company Tonghua Jinma official website was attacked by hackers, and the pharmaceutical company official website, which was revised the day before yesterday, was attacked again, and both pages were changed to words related to industrial gelatin.

In view of the media exposure that the chromium content of capsule products exceeded the standard, Amendment Pharmaceutical issued a statement in official website on June 16, saying that it had set up a "Safety Inspection Team for Antelope Ganmao Capsules" to investigate and re-examine this batch of products (hollow capsules are suspected to have potential quality hazards). The statement said that it is actively cooperating with the relevant state regulatory authorities for re-inspection and will inform the public of the results of scientific inspection reports of authoritative organizations as soon as possible. "If there are quality problems, we are willing to accept any handling by state organs".

Earlier, Xiu Laigui, the chairman of the revised pharmaceutical group, told the media on the day of the report broadcast. In the afternoon, the sample of "Lingyang Ganmao Capsule" was self-inspected. "The capsule is completely qualified after inspection, and there is no chromium exceeding the standard", and said that the sample should be sent to a third party for testing.

Zhongshu Pharmaceutical has been rectified.

The other involves the pharmaceutical company "Suizhong Pharmaceutical", which exposed drug quality problems twice in one year. At the end of last year, the company received a fine of more than 6.3 million yuan from the regulatory authorities. 20 1 1 in April, 2008, the State Administration of Pharmaceutical Products and Sichuan American Food and Drug Administration found that Zhongshu Pharmaceutical Company violated the relevant regulations during the production of traditional Chinese medicine and asked the Chinese medicine workshop to stop production and rectify. Some insiders questioned its use of non-medicinal raw materials such as "apple peel" for production.

Zhongshu Pharmaceutical is known as the "king of generic drugs" in the industry, with more than 200 kinds of quasi-Chinese medicines and 6 dosage forms, including amoxicillin capsules and norfloxacin capsules exposed this time. The first question mark, when the local public security law enforcement officers went to a problem enterprise to enforce the law after the program was broadcast, they suddenly saw that the building of this enterprise had started to catch fire. Is this a coincidence or an artificial act of selling stolen goods?

Secondly, what went wrong? The media reported almost the same thing in 2004. Why did the problem reappear eight years later?

Third, we are now faced with such a behavior, that is, applying the relevant laws and regulations on drug management, for example, imposing a fine of 1 to 3 times and revoking the license. But is the correction of this nature fake, poisoned and harmful to people's lives and health? How should the judiciary change its thinking and think more accurately in such troubled times?

Li Huayi, Propaganda Minister of Fucheng County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province:

After the media reported this situation, the county government attached great importance to it and immediately set up an investigation and handling team to investigate and handle the matter. At present, the public security organs have controlled more than 20 people, including enterprise operator Song Haixin. We will promptly announce the handling of the whole incident to the public and accept the supervision of the media and society.

These are some characteristics of this industry. This industry has relatively small investment, low threshold and simple technology. After decades of development, it is still easy to have a mature technology, and it is still easy to produce when supervision is weak. On the other hand, some unscrupulous businessmen and operators deliberately evade the supervision of law enforcement departments and forget their own interests, which is a long-standing problem in this industry.

After this problem happened, the county government still attached great importance to it and adopted a series of measures. For the sake of this industry, in recent years, the Fucheng County Party Committee and the county government have rectified this industry twice a year with the participation of industry and commerce, quality inspection, public security and environmental protection departments according to the characteristics of seasonal production in this industry. From April 9th to May 3rd this year1,we have been managing this industry for one week. Combined with our work in recent years, we should seriously reflect. Some work systems formed in our work are still relatively effective. For example, in order to standardize the sales link, we have established a ledger led by the industrial and commercial department; In order to standardize the quality, the quality inspection department takes overall responsibility for the enterprise; In order to standardize the production behavior of enterprises, we are responsible for the environmental protection department and so on. In order to upgrade this industry as soon as possible, we started planning the gelatin recycling industry project last year and signed a contract in Beijing last June. 1 1. This project is invested and constructed by Beijing Zhongcheng Hongtian Company. After the project is completed, I think it will greatly promote the upgrading of the whole industry. In response to the media exposure of 13 medicinal hollow capsule products, several provinces and cities have launched deployment investigations on "problem capsules" and requested to suspend sales and use.

In response to media exposure of products with chromium exceeding the standard, Beijing issued the Emergency Notice of Beijing Drug Administration on Suspension of Sales and Use of Capsules Suspected of Chromium Exceeding the Standard overnight, requiring all medical institutions, wholesale enterprises and pharmacies in Beijing to stop selling 13 batches of products with chromium exceeding the standard exposed by the media from now on.
