Chapter 277: Almighty
After some related papers on 'Ankangding' were published.
Many pharmaceutical companies quickly began in-depth understanding and research, even including replication.
Since even the production process has been laid out, and Umbrella sells the special culture medium, it is not a difficult problem to completely replicate it.
There will only be problems with mass production.
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! I'm afraid all depression-related drugs and sleeping pills will be swept into the trash from now on."
In Huanuo's laboratory, a researcher was holding the data and some related experimental results in front of him with disbelief in his eyes.
What Umbrella said is true!
It's not an advertisement, nor is it a promotional slogan!
They are just stating their claims!
"It's not just sleeping pills, most cold medicines and painkillers are probably like this. Except for a few banned drugs, traditional painkillers can't compare with them. The effect is already better than Du."
Another researcher couldn't help but sigh at this time.
Du is a type of opioid analgesic. Although its analgesic effect is only about one-eighth of that of opiates, it also belongs to the category of exorphins and has a high degree of addictiveness. It is a drug that can only be used under specific conditions.
But now, an OTC drug, an ordinary oral medicine with no side effects and no addiction, can be more effective than Du?
This is a miracle painkiller!
Du's pain-relieving effect lasts only 2-4 hours, but its metabolism time is as long as 15 hours. It also has huge side effects and is addictive, and it can only be injected.
For ordinary people, before the emergence of stone-dissolving drugs, the most likely time to come into contact with this type of painkiller was when kidney stones occurred.
But now an oral OTC medicine can actually suppress this level of pain. You can imagine how effective it is.
Duck slices were originally regarded as a panacea by the West, in fact, to some extent, it was because of their analgesic effect.
If ibuprofen can relieve the symptoms, you can just use this stuff. To put it bluntly, it can temporarily suppress the cancer pain. If there is no reaction, can't we consider it cured?
There are also some folk remedies that have been popular in the past, such as boiling water to treat toothache and stomachache. These things can certainly suppress pain, but they are not actual cures for the body.
And this 'Ankangding' is the top product that has pure pain-relieving effect but no side effects!
"This is the most ideal and perfect miracle drug! It can solve the pain of many patients!"
Although Huanuo Group has some unpleasantness with Umbrella to some extent.
The board members, the previous CEO and many executors of the previous plans have "disappeared", and the flagship product Gleevec has also suffered a huge impact due to the hematopoietic stem cell cultivation technology.
But for the front-line scientific researchers, they don’t care too much about these things. They have always been devoted to scientific research, and they simply praise this miraculous drug!
"Not only is it not addictive, but the metabolites are substances produced by the human body itself. As for the so-called drug toxicity, it is not as serious as drinking more water!"
"It can be taken long-term by patients with depression and insomnia, which can be regarded as a cure in disguise. It can also be used to relieve pain for patients with colds and other diseases, and its side effects are far lower than those of conventional cold medicines such as ibuprofen. It is a perfect substitute."
The top executives of Huanuo came here originally to listen to some suggestions, but they heard their own technical staff talking nonsense instead, which made them speechless.
"How many drugs will be affected? Is there a way to develop competing products? Can patents be circumvented?"
"Don't even think about developing competing products. This drug is a miracle in our eyes. We couldn't even think about it before. As for the impact, it can be seen as painkillers, cold medicines, antipyretics in all fields, all depression drugs and insomnia-related drugs..."
After hearing this, Huanuo also felt an unusual headache.
Huanuo's annual sales profit of prescription drugs is as high as tens of billions, and its investment in research and development is nearly tens of billions, and that's in US dollars!
But among these drugs, in addition to those high-priced targeted drugs for cancer, there are also many conventional drugs.
This time, Purdue Pharma and Huanuo were not able to get a share of the pie, but instead had to bear the losses.
The key point is that this time Umbrella has kidnapped a group of capitalists, and this is their common interest!
…
Similar situations actually occurred in major pharmaceutical companies, even in some groups that benefited from Purdue Pharma.
After various evaluations, studies and experiments, what can be confirmed is that in the future, "Ankangding" will probably become the world's best-selling and most commonly used drug.
No! One!
Because of the extremely low side effects, you can even prescribe the medicine without thinking!
However, because of its excellent efficacy, this drug also has other "side effects".
First, if you have to work during the day, taking the medicine may cause drowsiness. If you do some special jobs or drive, it is not recommended to take it, or you can take it at night and reduce the daytime dose.
Second, if you have abdominal pain, please do not take medicine immediately. Go to the hospital first to determine the cause of the pain. "Ankangding" itself has no real "curative effect" except for depression and insomnia. It only relieves symptoms. Avoid ignoring some diseases because the pain is suppressed by the medicine...
…
"Damn this menstrual cramps. Why do I have to go through this?"
In the travel agency, Bai Bing was lying on the table, looking sick.
The special days of each month when women have their period will lead to the secretion of a large amount of QLX hormone, which will also lead to an increase in body pain.
There are even many pains that you don’t notice at other times of the year may become noticeable during menstruation.
However, due to fatigue, work and rest issues, a large number of women will experience dysmenorrhea.
Therefore, ibuprofen is essential for some women every month.
It’s just that Bai Bing had specially prepared some in reserve. Today, when she opened the drawer, she remembered that she had used them up last month. Now she can only lie there and wait for the dead.
"What happened to Xiaobing?"
The boss couldn't help but ask Bai Bing out of concern when he saw her like this. He couldn't stand employees slacking off, but he would also be very troubled if something happened to his employees at work.
"Boss, I'm not feeling well. Can I go get some medicine? It'll be quick."
Bai Bing took the opportunity to say that her pale face was not a disguise.
"You did a good job last time, so I'll grant you a day off. Go back and have a good rest. Come back tomorrow to apply for leave."
"Thank you, boss~"
Bai Bing was somewhat touched in her heart. In the eyes of many bosses, they cannot bear to see their employees take a break at all. As long as they are free, they will arrange some work for them on the spur of the moment.
But this is actually a very stupid approach, which will only cause employees to slack off and delay things that can be done quickly, seriously affecting efficiency.
What this kind of small travel agency needs is unity from top to bottom, so although it is not large in scale, it is still booming.
After having a day off, Bai Bing felt that the pain was much lessened.
When I went downstairs to the pharmacy next door to ask for ibuprofen, the salesperson at the pharmacy took one look and roughly understood what was going on, and recommended it with a smile:
"Umbrella has launched a new painkiller. Would you like to try it? The side effects are much smaller than ibuprofen and it has no liver toxicity."
When drugstores promote drugs, most people probably know that they require recharge, so they usually promote drugs that cost a few dozen yuan or a few yuan and have similar effects.
Bai Bing wanted to refuse subconsciously, but when she heard that the other party was promoting the drug company, she said with some doubt.
"Umbrella's new medicine? They're selling painkillers?"
Not everyone pays attention to the information on the Internet all the time. Bai Bing is the same. He just completed a big order a few days ago, so naturally he didn't pay attention to it.
Ibuprofen, as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has a high level of liver toxicity. Bai Bing has paid attention to this because she uses it frequently. She was also a hepatitis B virus carrier and was cured with the help of Umbrella's immunoglobulin.
The doctor also said that although the hepatitis B virus has been completely killed, it still causes some damage to the liver, and liver function needs to be checked regularly in the future.
Now there is a drug with even fewer side effects, so of course she is very tempted.
"How much is it? Show it to me."
Hepatitis B was cured by Umbrella's medicine, and last time she looked at the price comparison with hepatitis C drugs, she had a natural liking for Umbrella.
"30 pills, 318..."
"Thanks, I'll give you the ibuprofen."
It’s ten times more expensive, boss. Even goodwill has to bow to money.
"Hey, listen to me. The drug's effect lasts for more than twelve hours, and because it has few side effects, it can be taken continuously without any problems. It can also treat insomnia, and it has no side effects."
The clerk quickly started to explain and clarify.
"It can also cure insomnia? Is that true?"
Bai Bing was a little confused. Is there any medicine that can have so many functions?
"It seems that the principle is like this. It has been specially published. You can check it out online. There are also packs of ten here, one hundred and twenty-two."
Bai Bing looked at the clerk speechlessly, and immediately pushed an item that cost over three hundred yuan to me, saying, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Give me a box. You can pay with your medical insurance card, right?"
"OK."
