Liang Yien is still introducing Xu Jiuyan: "In other words, during the drug production process, the production unit uses the same batch number to represent the drugs produced by the same batch of materials and the same production process. The batch number represents the production date and batch, which can be The batch number calculates the expiration date and storage time of the drug, and at the same time facilitates the sampling and inspection of the drug, and also represents the quality of the drug in the batch.
The production history of the batch of drugs can be traced and reviewed through the batch number of the drug production. It can be considered that this is a legal interpretation of the definition of batch number.
In the production process, the batch number of the drug is mainly used for identification. It is generated during the pharmaceutical production planning stage, and corresponding content can be added as the production process progresses, and corresponding production records can be formed at the same time. According to the production batch number and corresponding production records, the source of the raw materials of the batch of products can be traced, including the raw material batch number, manufacturer and other drug formation history, such as tablet granulation, compression, sub-packaging, etc.; after the drug is formed into a finished product, According to the sales records, the market where the medicines go can be traced; the quality of the medicines after they enter the market; the batch of medicines can be controlled or recycled when needed.
For the drug supervision and management personnel, the drug quality supervision and drug control can be carried out based on the random inspection of the batch of drugs and the conditions in use. In the use of drugs, the batch number of the drug is also involved.
Take this pill box as an example, look at the number here. The batch number of pharmaceutical production in my country is usually composed of six or eight digits, and the batch numbers marked by different manufacturers are also different.
The batch number is represented by six digits, the first two digits indicate the year, the middle two digits indicate the month, and the last two digits indicate the date. Although some batch numbers are also represented by six digits, the first two digits indicate the year, the middle two digits indicate the month, but the last two digits indicate the production serial number.
Some drug batch numbers are represented by eight digits, which means that the six digits and digits of the day number are well composed. The meaning of the semicolon is only known to the producer. It may indicate the production batch number on the same day, or it may indicate the expiration date. "There is another batch number notation, which is the variety code, plus the batch number. The batch numbers of some domestic joint venture drugs and imported drugs, especially the raw materials, have almost no regularity in form. Its characteristic is that it is not The batch number is related to the date of manufacture, so it is relatively short. Therefore, the batch number of imported drugs is inconsistent with the domestic representation, but the origin of the product, the batch number, and a lot of relevant information will also be marked on it. Although imported drugs are based on the batch number The production date is not visible on the screen, but it will be marked on the outer packaging of the drug. So the batch code of the drug is very important."
"Then what do you do now? How do you want to investigate?" Xu Jiuyan threw the question to Liang Yien, and Liang Yien said, "I think it would be better to check the doctor."
"What do you mean?" Xu Jiuyan asked, "Do you think it is easier for doctors to get prescription drugs than patients?"
Liang Yien said indifferently: "Drugs are special commodities. Our country implements a franchise license system. It is illegal to operate without a license. Any individual, including doctors and nurses, even experts, has nothing to do with them personally. The right to engage in drug trading activities without authorization. But our medical industry also has unspoken rules.
Prescription drugs are drugs that can only be dispensed, purchased, and used with the prescription of a practicing physician or assistant practicing physician; non-prescription drugs are drugs that can be judged, purchased, and used without the prescription of a physician. As a special item for the maintenance of human health, drugs are strictly controlled by corresponding laws and regulations in all aspects of development, production, sales, and use. Organizations or individuals participating in these links must be granted corresponding authority by the competent government department. For drug users, that is, drug consumers, access to and use of certain drugs is not arbitrary.
Some doctors will prescribe drugs that have nothing to do with the cause on the prescriptions of ordinary patients, and then use cash to convert these drugs from the patients to their own hands, and then sell them privately to people who do not have a prescription but need these drugs. , This way back and forth, there will be a lot of benefits. "
"Is this illegal?" Xu Jiuyan screamed.
Liang Yien is used to it: "This is very common, we don't think it is weird anymore."
Xu Jiuyan took Liang Yi'en's hand and said: “If the state has other regulations on the operation of narcotic drugs, psychotropic drugs, medical toxic drugs, and preventive biological products, those regulations shall prevail. The establishment of pharmaceutical retail enterprises shall comply with the number of local permanent residents, The requirements of the region, traffic conditions and actual needs are in line with the principle of facilitating the purchase of medicines by the masses.
The import and export of narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of relevant laws. Psychotropic drugs are divided into the first category of psychoactive drugs and the second category of psychoactive drugs. The catalogue is formulated, adjusted and published by the drug regulatory department of the State Council in conjunction with the public security department of the State Council and the competent health department of the State Council.
The State exercises control over the original medicinal plants of narcotic drugs, as well as narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs. Except as otherwise provided for in these Regulations, no unit or individual is allowed to plant the original medicinal plants of narcotic drugs and the experimental research, production, operation, use, storage, and transportation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs.
The drug supervision and administration departments of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government are responsible for the supervision and administration of narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs in their respective administrative regions. Local public security organs at or above the county level are responsible for investigating and punishing acts that cause narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs to flow into illegal channels within their administrative regions. Other relevant competent departments of local people's governments at or above the county level shall be responsible for the administration of narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs within their respective responsibilities.
According to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, medical practitioners shall use special prescriptions to prescribe narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs, and the maximum dosage of a single prescription shall comply with the regulations of the competent health department of the State Council.
For prescriptions for narcotic drugs and Class I psychotropic drugs, the dispensers and verifiers of the prescriptions shall carefully check, sign their names, and register them; for prescriptions that do not comply with the provisions of these Regulations, the dispensers and verifiers of the prescriptions shall refuse to distribute the drugs. The format of special prescriptions for narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs shall be prescribed by the competent health department of the State Council.
In summary, it is of course possible for employees of medical institutions to engage in drug wholesale and retail work in accordance with the law. If an individual engages in drug trading activities privately, it is an illegal act, and if the circumstances are serious, criminal responsibility will be investigated. "
Liang Yinen smiled and said: "Lawyer Xu, I know all these things. I haven't done anything like this before. You, don't worry." (End of this chapter)
