The reporter learned from the State Food and Drug Administration that according to statistics, there are currently 194 types of antipyretic, cough, antibacterial, and antiviral drugs on the market in my country, involving more than 9,000 approval numbers.
Regarding the production of ibuprofen and acetaminophen, which are common antipyretic and analgesic drugs that are of great concern to the common people, according to the data in the 2021 corporate annual report, there are a total of 446 effective document numbers for ibuprofen, of which 104 are in production in 2021 ; There are a total of 986 effective document numbers for acetaminophen, of which 111 will be in production in 2021.
With the coordination and support of relevant departments, at present, the preparation companies in production of these two varieties are gradually releasing their production capacity.
In addition, according to the research of some enterprises, the raw material drug production capacity of ibuprofen and acetaminophen in my country is relatively sufficient, which can meet the domestic demand for preparation production.
For example, the annual production capacity of Shandong Xinhua Pharmaceutical's ibuprofen API can reach 8,000 tons, far exceeding the total demand of the domestic market in previous years; the annual production capacity of Shandong Anqiu Luan Pharmaceutical's paracetamol API is close to 30,000 tons, about Twice the total demand.
In order to increase supply and ensure quality, the State Food and Drug Administration has deployed relevant local drug regulatory departments to provide first-hand services, actively contact relevant production enterprises, and combine production characteristics of varieties to entrust enterprises with production, increase production and expansion, production batches and site changes, etc. According to the current situation, enterprises shall be guided in a targeted manner to carry out research as soon as possible, and to expand production capacity in an orderly manner in accordance with laws and regulations.
On this basis, the territorial regulatory authorities strengthened supervision and inspection and sampling inspection.
Judging from the situation, in the past three years, the drug regulatory authorities in various places have successively sampled and inspected more than 3,800 batches of ibuprofen preparations and more than 1,660 batches of acetaminophen preparations. No abnormal signal was found in reaction monitoring.
The State Food and Drug Administration reminds everyone that when buying medicines online, you must choose formal channels.
In October this year, the WHO (World Health Organization) notified that a cold and cough medicine produced by an Indian company was suspected to be contaminated, which may cause serious personal injury.
Although the product has not obtained marketing authorization in my country and has not been sold in the Chinese market, it also warns us to avoid purchasing drugs from illegal channels such as online purchasing agents. Such products have unknown origins and are out of supervision, and their quality and safety are not guaranteed. .
