Chapter 133 Breaking Point
"Boss, there are some problems with the two drugs produced by Umbrella. Sales and distribution are hindered."
Wang Yi had already arranged the furniture and electrical appliances in his villa and had also DIYed some test benches on the first floor of the Mage Tower, but Lin Shiqin brought him a piece of news.
Because Li Yao had too many things to deal with, and since there were already staff from the factory in China, it was natural for Lin Shiqin to help arrange and direct them. Now that Li Yao had flown to India to knock on the vaccine factory, it would be inappropriate to call him back for everything.
"Uh, hasn't it passed the review? What's the situation?"
Wang Yi prepared the things himself, so of course he was aware of the efficiency.
It has significant therapeutic effects and few side effects. This thing will definitely become popular once it spreads.
It can be said that these two drugs can reduce the number of hepatobiliary and urological surgeries by half!
This is the most common surgery in both departments.
"Our products are classified as common prescription drugs. Although they can be sold in large pharmacies and distributed to hospitals, it is... quite troublesome."
Lin Shiqin’s words also made Wang Yi a little dazed.
Prescription drugs are divided into six categories, but ordinary prescription drugs are relatively loosely regulated, and many of the drugs that can be purchased in large pharmacies are of this type.
But even so, it is still a prescription drug and you have to go to the hospital or pharmacy to get it.
If it is really that easy to get in, then what are those drug salesmen and pharmaceutical representatives for?
Now the medicine has been made and has passed the test, but there is nowhere to sell it!
"Wasn't it a pharmaceutical factory before? Didn't it have drug agents and sales?"
“Guess why it’s about to go bankrupt.”
"What do you mean?"
"I'm still relying on your power, boss. You collaborated with me to calculate the data for these two drugs, so it's normal for you to come to the fore."
"Tsk~, prescription medicine."
Wang Yi sighed.
It can be said that the sale of prescription drugs themselves is almost only in hospitals and pharmacies, and can only rely on these two sides!
Why?
Because prescription drugs can only be advertised in medical and pharmaceutical professional journals jointly designated by the management departments, but may not be advertised in mass media or advertised to the general public in other ways.
Even advertising is not allowed. It can be said that Wang Yi’s help in reposting the message on Weibo is against the rules because he is now a public figure.
If an individual feels that this medicine has miraculous effects, he or she can spontaneously send out some information.
Wang Yi is fully confident that the effectiveness of this medicine will definitely be good news for patients with stones.
In terms of proportion, 15% to 18% of people in China have stones to varying degrees, a number that exceeds 200 million!
It’s just that most of them don’t need to be dealt with temporarily.
Moreover, the recurrence rate of stones is surprisingly high, exceeding 5% six months after surgery, exceeding 50% five years after surgery, and exceeding 80% ten years after surgery, which is quite painful for patients.
But sometimes, just because the medicine is good doesn’t mean it can really solve the problem.
Wang Yi could imagine that if these two drugs were sent to hospitals without being advertised, there might even be a possibility of boycott.
Because the interests affected are so great, drugs, medical devices and even doctors may be greatly affected.
"The key to this breakthrough is to target a few hospitals, spread word of mouth, and make the hospitals involuntarily."
Wang Yi also made a decision quickly.
Drug advertisements are not allowed, but appropriate publicity for the hospital itself is allowed. By then, wow, their level of stone treatment is so high, and you can't do it here?
With a breakthrough found, these two high-quality medicines can naturally be promoted!
In fact, when hospitals prescribe some incomprehensible prescription drugs and then cure the disease, more people will be grateful for the doctor's skills rather than remembering what they took.
However, the effects of these two stone-dissolving medicines are so outstanding that Wang Yi feels that they should be able to break out of the market directly.
The first goal, of course, is to choose my beloved alma mater...
…
Academy of Sciences.
"Is this what you worked with? Why is it a Chinese patent medicine?"
Academician Li from the School of Mathematics took the two bottles of medicine brought by Wang Yi and looked at them over and over again.
"It may be their company's unique technology. The data was quite complicated when I calculated it."
Wang Yi said with a smile.
Currently, the Academy of Sciences is preparing to establish the School of Life Sciences and Medicine. It does not have a formal medical department, but it has the highly ranked Academy of Sciences First Affiliated Hospital.
Since this was the case, Wang Yi naturally went to find Academician Li, whom he was familiar with. Since he was an academician and was more familiar with the situation, it would naturally be easier for him to make the connection.
"We still trust the experiment you participated in, and since this drug has passed the review, it can enter the hospital."
Academician Li hesitated for a moment, but immediately agreed and called the director of the affiliated hospital.
If he were just an ordinary professor in a school, he wouldn't have this ability.
But Academician Li is not only the dean of the School of Mathematics, but also has the title of academician, which is quite an honor.
Because the call mentioned two new drugs that students had participated in, when Dean Cheng from the affiliated hospital arrived, he also brought three other people, one was the director of the pharmacy department who was specifically responsible for drug procurement, one was the director of hepatobiliary surgery, and one was the director of urology.
It can be said that professionals were also brought here.
"Oh, this must be the pride of our Academy of Sciences. Professor Wang is indeed younger than the rumors say."
As soon as Dean Cheng came over, he immediately recognized Wang Yi's identity and started greeting him.
Then he smiled and said to Academician Li
" Academician Li , I'm not too familiar with kidney stones, so I found a professional. Since one of our own has participated in research, there will be no problem for them to enter the hospital, but how to use them still depends on their opinions."
"Of course, no matter how cautious you are with medicine, curing illnesses and saving lives is the top priority."
Although Academician Li was willing to help, he had to insist on issues of principle.
"The dean has no objection, so of course I can't have one. Let's listen to the advice of these two professionals."
The director of the pharmacy department was plump and kind-looking, and he spoke with a smile.
"Choledocho-soothing and liver-relief tablets?"
Director Hu, who looked to be in his early fifties, from the hepatobiliary surgery department took the medicine bottle and the relevant qualification instructions and took a look at them, but soon frowned.
"This is a traditional Chinese medicine made from the gallbladder-removing and stone-removing soup. Of course it can be used, but there are not many situations where it can be used."
Then he explained
"Because the stone melts too slowly, I'm worried that it might block the common bile duct and cause pancreatic problems, which could be fatal."
“Safety first, for sure.”
Academician Li is not a layman who commands professionals.
The 40-something urology director next to him looked more tactful. He also nodded after reading it.
"This is also a Chinese patent medicine with a slight adjustment to the traditional prescription. The Qingreliure Capsule is not as restrictive as Lao Hu's. It can be used by patients with small stones. Sometimes I will recommend them to take Chinese medicine. If the efficacy of the medicine is well preserved, it is also convenient."
Kidney stones are excreted directly into the ureter, so there is no life-threatening organ.
Of course, if it gets stuck, the pain will be excruciating.
With the support of Academician Li, there is no resistance to the drugs here, so there will be no problem in importing the drugs.
However, Wang Yi still wanted to give them a more intuitive feeling, so after a moment of he called Qian Yayan.
"Senior, you are so popular, please find a few students with gallstones to come here."
Many college students do not like to eat breakfast, which causes the bile concentration to increase, and some people still have gallstones.
A regular prescription drug that has passed the review and has such an excellent effect, just consider it a good deed...
