Today's plasters have become a pillar industry for many companies, which can be reflected in the financial annual reports of many companies.
Nanyun Baiyao's 2016 annual report shows that sales of plasters ranked first in the similar market.
In 2016, the sales of patches produced by Lingrui Pharmaceutical exceeded the 1 billion yuan mark.
Qizheng Tibetan Medicine and Tianhe Pharmaceutical also occupy a large market share.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 800 approval documents and about 200 companies involving patch-related products.
Among them, there are more than 20 varieties of patch drugs imported and registered abroad, and nearly 30 foreign-funded companies are involved.
Seeing this kind of data and these situations, Chen Wenzhe was a little dumbfounded.
He really didn’t expect that in the past two years, the topical patches used in retail pharmacies in my country have been mainly traditional Chinese patent medicine patches.
Nanyun Bai ointment, Musk Zhuanggu ointment and Xiaotong plaster can all be regarded as extensions of dog skin plaster.
Nanyun Baiyao, which I thought was very high-end, is actually a plaster. He has gained a lot of experience.
Nowadays, traditional plasters actually occupy a great advantage in the market. This is completely different from what Chen Wenzhe imagined.
This is because chemical plasters, compared with traditional Chinese patent medicine plasters, are mostly prescription drugs and do not have an advantage in drugstore retail.
Also, analgesic patches account for 80%, so it can be said that the market demand is strong.
Analgesic patches are used in outpatient clinics to treat common neck, shoulder, waist and back pain, acute and chronic sprains and strains, osteoarthritis and other acute soft tissue pain, or chronic local pain.
This kind of traditional Chinese patent medicine patch is relatively well accepted by patients in outpatient clinics. It is usually applied wherever it hurts, and it acts directly on the affected area. The effect is relatively good, and it can avoid the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys that are common with oral analgesics.
side effect.
Moreover, almost all the plasters prescribed to patients are covered by medical insurance, and the cost to patients is not high.
According to statistics from some authoritative organizations, the current domestic rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis drug market is 48 billion yuan, of which Chinese patent medicines account for %.
As the population ages, the market demand for traditional patches is expected to continue to rise.
Seeing this, combined with the old people he met this morning, what else does Chen Wenzhe not understand?
A large part of the market for dog skin plasters is the market for the elderly, especially the two categories of rheumatism and analgesic plasters, which mainly target the elderly.
The Ziyun plaster in his hand now can be used by children and young adults. The hot patch was specially developed for women. It is an analgesic plaster that can only treat fractures, but there is no plaster specifically designed to treat rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis. This is a pity.
With a goal in mind, it is easier for Chen Wenzhe to find useful formulas.
He quickly selected what he needed.
"Huh? This formula has actually been promoted?"
Soon, Chen Wenzhe was attracted by a piece of news.
This is an old news story from two thousand years ago. It tells about a pharmaceutical factory in a mountain city that relied on dog-skin plasters to open up the international market.
After just a brief glance, Chen Wenzhe showed a surprised expression.
He really didn't expect that dog skin plaster could be related to green, natural and non-toxic side effects.
However, if you think about it carefully, this thing is for external use. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just tear it off.
This kind of external plaster is different from the medicine that is taken into the mouth or swallowed into the stomach.
Different from oral medicine, the patch is applied to the outside and reaches the lesion directly, which can minimize the toxic and side effects.
With this characteristic, this patch will definitely become more and more popular in developed countries in Europe and the United States.
However, entering the international market is not without competition, especially with the little devil’s patches.
The little devil collected various prescriptions from China, researched them a little, packaged them into modern high-tech products, and made a lot of money in the international market.
This is really a huge profit, because there are no drug research and development costs at all.
When our patent medicines go abroad, we must avoid infringing on other people's international patents.
It can be said that the more he learned, the more Chen Wenzhe felt that the Japs were really their biggest enemies, not because they were so powerful, but because they really understood the Chinese people and the domestic culture too well.
If there is a powerful neighbor and you cannot defeat him, then join him, get to know him, and defeat him!
The little devil did this very well.
This is a lesson learned from the past, so Chen Wenzhe must be cautious.
"Li Dongheng, a pharmacologist from the Jin Dynasty, clearly wrote the miraculous prescriptions in his works, but no one knows how to use or develop them?"
"No, someone took advantage of it, it was the pharmaceutical factory in Shancheng."
Chen Wenzhe saw the formula and learned through Shancheng Pharmaceutical Factory that the dog skin plaster made with this formula was very effective, which made him dumbfounded.
This black plaster, made from dozens of traditional Chinese medicines, can be applied to a piece of dog skin and has a very good effect on rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis.
If no one takes advantage of this and does research and development, do you believe that diseases that modern medicine cannot cure could be treated in ancient times?
This is something that many people believe is used by charlatans to deceive, and it can be used to treat it!
"Compound Zhui Feng Ointment? Neck, Shoulder, Waist and Leg Yitie Ling? I've heard of these before, but I didn't expect that they are all dog-skin plasters!"
The more he learned about it, the more Chen Wenzhe admired the pharmaceutical giant from the mountain city. You must know that he began to develop dog skin plasters two thousand years ago.
Moreover, at that time, they introduced Western patent medicine production lines to improve and manufacture traditional Chinese medicines.
"These pharmaceutical companies are considered the backbone of national enterprises, and we certainly cannot poach their corners. Therefore, even if we obtain the formula, we cannot directly use it to compete with them."
Looking at Li Dongheng's formula, Chen Wenzhe felt really strange. How did the ancients develop this formula thousands of years ago?
A combination of dozens of traditional Chinese medicines can be boiled into a plaster and applied to the neck, shoulders, waist and legs to relieve pain and cure diseases. How did you come up with this?
You must have a very detailed understanding of the medicinal properties of dozens of traditional Chinese medicines to be able to combine this formula, right?
Although Chen Wenzhe knew the formula, he could still make a plaster to treat rheumatic pain based on the production process he now knew.
However, he did not understand the medicinal properties of various traditional Chinese medicines and did not know how to combine them.
However, he always got all the inheritance from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor. If he studies carefully, he can also prepare a detumescence and analgesic ointment for treating fractures, plus the preparation methods and pharmacological properties of hot paste and other plasters.
, a drug more suitable for treating rheumatoid arthritis.
Anti-inflammation and analgesia are the most important. Can heat therapy remove rheumatism?
Thinking about it this way, if he slightly changes the formula of the detumescence and analgesic ointment, can he make a qualified ointment for treating rheumatic pain and arthritis?
