Yesterday, the National Development and Reform Commission official website released the news that the NDRC recently issued a notice, decided from March 28 to reduce some of the main treatment for infection and cardiovascular diseases of antibiotics and circulation of the highest retail prices, a total of 162 varieties, nearly 1300 dosage form specifications.　　The adjusted price is 21% lower than the current stipulated price, which is expected to reduce the burden of nearly 10 billion yuan per year. Nanfang Daily reporter Newsiyan Price varieties focus on more targeted "antibiotics and circulatory system drugs use a wide range of products to reduce their prices, to reduce the economic burden of patients has an important role."　　"The National Development and Reform Commission in charge of the report, the National Development and Reform Commission on the basis of cost and price survey, through expert review, listen to the views of interested parties and other pricing procedures, the final determination of the price adjustment program."　　The Director of the National Development and Reform Commission pointed out that the price adjustment took into account the cost of drug production and market actual transaction prices and other factors, and distinguish between different situations, highlighting the focus. The price adjustment, the high cost of drugs increased the strength of the price, lower prices for low-cost drugs or no price reduction, in order to reduce the burden of patients at the same time, to ensure that the price of relatively inexpensive drugs production and supply, the patent and other innovative drugs to properly control the price reduction to encourage drug research and development innovation; on the individual pricing of drugs,　　Further narrowing the price gap with the unified pricing of drugs in order to maintain a fair competitive environment in the market. "The Reform and Development Commission has again lowered the price of medicine, indicating the government's determination to improve people's livelihood."　　"Guofan, a researcher in the pharmaceutical industry of CIC, said that since the new health reform, the problem of" difficult to see a doctor and expensive to see a doctor "has not been fully resolved, and the choice is to use a wide range of antibiotics and other drugs, aimed at minimizing the burden on the people's medical expenses.　　Guofan also pointed out that the current common cold medicine and other general drug profit is actually lower, and then reduce the space is not too much, and for high prices, long course of drug prices, can better reduce the burden of people's medical costs, but also more clearly feel the lower price of medicine. Jinkang Pharmacy general Manager Zheng Haotao thinks, the NDRC adjusts the medicine price concentrates in the basic medicine, the pertinence is stronger. This is to learn from the previous years, the price of the range of drugs is too big lessons. "To be honest, the previous practice of excessive lethality, the fight against the enthusiasm of many pharmaceutical companies, there are proprietary Chinese medicine companies with our complaints to reduce the drug price policy let them ' breathless '." "Separate pricing drugs" concept or will weaken in the national Development and Reform Commission issued to reduce drug prices after the news, netizens reacted enthusiastically.　　As of 8 o'clock last evening, only Tencent network has more than 15,000 people participate in the comments. Guangzhou netizen "Rabbit" said: "In the soaring prices today, to hear a price drop news is really like Mu lin ..." but there are many netizens to the development and Reform Commission to reduce the effect of drug prices expressed concern. The Netizen "Amoy Amoy" leave the saying: "The price has been reduced, does not matter, changes the package to sell back the original price, the old packing exits the market." Ask for a price reduction and then change the package. "For such concerns, insiderssaid that in the past, some companies will change the drug price of a dosage form or even a package of new drugs in the name of another listing, will be priced up.　　But the practice of improving drug registration through the Drug Administration in recent years has now become unworkable.　　And the drug price adjustment, in the last November 30, the National Development and Reform Commission for the first time the overall downward, including some foreign-funded drugs, such as the highest retail prices, once again with separate pricing drugs surgery. Yesterday, the reporter checked the National Development and Reform Commission website on the original text of the notice. In the two annexes of the highest retail price for unified pricing drugs, the highest retail price for individual priced drugs, 1035 types of uniform pricing drugs and 230 dosage form specifications for the highest retail prices for individual priced drugs are listed respectively.　　In the third annex, the abolition of a part of the price of separate priced drugs, the list of 20 formulations of individual pricing drugs.　　It can be seen that, because the price of a separate pricing of drugs is usually higher, the reduction of its price has obvious effect on alleviating the burden of public medical expenses. "In fact, the state has tended to weaken the concept of ' individually priced drugs '. Guofan said that the original idea of "high quality and price" classification is now a bit like the concept of "exempt products", the use of drugs to bring some quality risks.　　And the separate pricing of drugs as "high quality price" proof, profit margins than ordinary drugs much higher, for pharmaceutical companies, just less to make a point, and for the people, the feeling of its price will be more obvious. Lower prices have limited impact on drug companies in pharmacies "antibiotic drugs account for only 5% of our drugstore sales." Zheng Haotao, general manager of Jinkang Pharmacy, said that for operators, reducing the price of medicine will certainly affect the overall sales and margin space, but the price of antibiotics and circulatory system in terms of the impact is not very big. "The main channel of medicine is in the hospital. "People in the industry say it is a good thing for the people to reduce the price of drugs, but a simple price reduction will not solve the problem completely." If the current "drug-raising" system is not resolved, it will not be able to achieve a clear sense of relief to the medical costs of the public. "So in addition to reducing the price of medicine, but also need a health system reform to keep up with, such as the country's strict reimbursement system for basic drugs, truly ' medical separation '." "The National Development and Reform Commission officials said that the implementation of the necessary regulation of drug prices is a common measure adopted by Governments."　　It is one of the important contents to deepen the reform of medical and health system to rationally control the expenditure of medical expenses, reduce the burden of patient's medicine, rectify the order of drug market and adjust the price of medicine systematically and systematically. According to the official said, the proposed price reduction plan announced, the National Development and Reform Commission will also be in accordance with the established work plan phased reduction of other government pricing range of drug prices.　　Price adjustment will be based on the social average cost of drug production and management, and consider the factors such as market supply and demand. Guofan, a researcher at CIC's pharmaceutical industry, predicts that from the state's policy trend toward drug price adjustment, the future direction will be the treatment of cancer drugs, etc.A drug with a high price. "The profit margin of ordinary drugs sold in general pharmacies is already very low, and the price reduction may be small." ”
