The interests of pharmaceutical enterprises should not be fodder for the public interest

Recently, a "nimesulide has a security risk" news attracted a lot of media and public attention. With the development of the event, around the international giant Johnson is the event behind the scenes, the performance of the use of unfair competition to fight the national drug enterprises farce gradually become the focus of media and public attention. Social commentators generally say: "The Nimesulide incident as a major public event at the beginning of 20,011 years, China's general public interest is again used as cannon fodder." ”

If the Black Hand is pushing, why is it so vicious? I think this stems from the greedy nature of capital.

Create public panic in exchange for corporate interests

Concerned about the "nimesulide security dispute", we have to mention the protagonist of the "Canchi pharmaceutical" and the world's top 500 companies, "the United States Johnson Pharmaceutical." One is the steady development of domestic drug companies, a well-known international giants. This is what kind of enmity, so that Chinese people in advance to enjoy a "false alarm" of the right to know?

The author notes that many of the children's antipyretic products produced by Chinese pharmaceutical companies are mainly composed of nimesulide. The data showed that nimesulide accounted for more than 70% of the domestic child acetaminophen market, and 70% of the Nimesulide products were produced by the Canchi pharmaceutical industry. And Johnson's children's fever drugs are mainly ibuprofen and other ingredients, both in effect and adverse reaction rate is very similar, the biggest difference is in price, and because of this, "foreign medicine" high prices to the Chinese people, but also make their own market share.

Domestic children's fever medicine because the price is reasonable, the effect is obvious, well received by consumers, the United States Johnson's malicious speculation on the incident has led to the domestic dozens of "nimesulide" products manufacturer's production and operation was seriously affected.

Industry insiders said that in the field of child Fever medicine, "nimesulide" products, the biggest competitor is Johnson's Tylenol, Merrill Lynch. Last year Tylenol was repeatedly recalled around the world, and Johnson lost a lot of market share, but Johnson has said that the recalled products are not related to the Chinese region.

The review of the "battle for the safety of Nimesulide" was initially sparked by an unofficial medical forum sponsored by Johnson. After the forum, Johnson to the major hospital doctors issued a child drug safety in the name of the warning message, said the composition of nimesulide is suspected of unsafe, and, the manufacturer's official website marked with no nimesulide mark. And, Johnson used the company's strong strength, to Canchi as the representative of domestic enterprises to use the media "violence", targeting consumers for children's health attaches great importance to the use of major newspapers, websites, the overwhelming publicity of the negative news of Nimesulide, so that unknown truth, not with professional medical knowledge of the vast number of consumers into panic And in each of the Seretide negative news, Johnson will launch the recommendation of their own children's antipyretic drugs advertising. Johnson's behavior has already constituted a vicious and unfair competition.

China Hospital Association National Rational Use of drug monitoring system expert Sun Zhongxi said, "The people's panic is mainly on the adverse reactions to the drug is not enough understanding." Sometimes the information is not communicated in a timely, comprehensive and impartial manner, and people can panic.

The public interest should not be "cannon fodder"

Recalling this incident, the National Drug Administration's response was very timely, authoritative experts also gave clarifications and appeals. It can be said that the timely denial of the public is to avoid unnecessary panic, for enterprises is to reduce the losses caused by the crisis.

Some insiders said that with the gradual clarity of the incident, Johnson "behind the scenes hand" identity gradually surfaced. The "battle for the safety of the Nimesulide", ostensibly a dispute over the banner of "Public Interest and security", in fact, the child acetaminophen market competition caused a conflict, should be the interests of protection and security of the Chinese public, actually sat a roller coaster, when a return to the international manufacturers of "cannon fodder."

Some experts even point out that China's leading enterprises in various industries are now receiving a storm of foreign giants, the banner of national industry is also facing the "all kinds of plunder" in the wave of mergers and acquisitions, China's national industry and national Enterprises to pursue the century-old shop target, is experiencing foreign capital "invasion" test, Hope that the national pharmaceutical industry can be in the government's drug supervision Department to escape the support of a robbery.

   can say, "The dispute also reminds people that winning the market ultimately depends on strength, not by waging unfair competition to bring down rivals, nor by virtue of the company's strength to" bully. " Perhaps many companies have yet to realize that when vicious competition is so intense that the public interest is not a problem, the public will not take them seriously. The
