Cracking down on drug "hoarding" in many places
2022-12-07
The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily learned that with the change of epidemic prevention policies in many places, many citizens began to "hoard drugs". Affected by this, the COVID-19 drug plate once rose significantly. However, recently, with many front-line epidemic prevention experts suggesting rational purchase of drugs, some regional market regulatory authorities have made it clear that they will crack down on drug "hoarding". On December 6, the COVID-19 drug plate was cold. Only 8 constituent stocks of COVID-19 Pharmaceuticals gained in the cold. With the change of epidemic prevention policies in many regions, the sales of related drugs began to rise significantly. Some residents began to stock up on anti influenza drugs, and even Huaqingwen Capsules were sold out in some regions. Affected by this, in the A-share market, the concept stocks of anti COVID-19 drugs rose significantly. The index of relevant concept stocks has risen by 27% since October, and some individual stocks have risen even higher. For example, Yiling Pharmaceutical has risen by 110% since October, Zhongsheng Pharmaceutical has risen by 131%, and Hanyu Pharmaceutical, Shenzhou Cell, Liuyao Group and other concept stocks have risen significantly. However, on December 6, the COVID-19 drug sector experienced significant shocks. After two consecutive days of gains, COVID-19 Pharmaceutical opened at a low opening on the 6th. Although it turned red during the session, as of the time of press release, the overall plate fell 1.44%, and only 8 of the 51 constituent stocks rose. The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that the market supervision departments in many places have recently released information to remind the public that it is unnecessary to blindly hoard drugs, while also clearly cracking down on illegal acts such as hoarding and driving up prices. Among them, the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Market Administration and Supervision issued a warning letter on the price behavior of medical drugs and supplies, specifying that the sales price of medical drugs and supplies should not be significantly increased by taking the opportunity of epidemic prevention and control. Operators should strictly control the price difference between purchase and sales within a reasonable range, and should not hoard, drive up prices, seek huge profits and spread rumors of price increases. Guangzhou Municipal Market Supervision Bureau also said that it would strengthen the supervision of drug quality and price, and carried out full coverage supervision and inspection of more than 7200 pharmacies in the city to ensure that the source of drugs and devices on sale can be traced and the quality can be controlled. Pay close attention to the online and offline citizens' demands, conduct dynamic and real-time monitoring on the market prices of epidemic prevention supplies and drugs, and promptly investigate and handle the clues of suspected price violations reported by the citizens. Expert: The significance of hoarding a large number of specific drugs is not great. The reporter of the Beijing Youth Daily also noticed that recently, many "COVID-19 Drug List" circulated on the Internet, including "COVID-19 medication sequence diagram", the so-called "National Health Commission recommends COVID-19 to treat Chinese patent drugs", and some folk remedies. In the widely circulated "COVID-19 Medication Sequence Diagram", the relevant drugs are commonly used to treat fever and colds, but they need to be tailored to the case, and there are contraindications when taking them. Zhou Fachun, a member of the medical treatment expert group of the joint defense and control mechanism of the State Council and director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, said, "There are online reports about COVID-19's medication sequence diagram, drug hoarding list, etc., which I think is actually unnecessary." Zhou Fachun suggested that we should consider preparing some corresponding medicines such as ibuprofen, Tylenol, and Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid among the regular medicines at home, so we don't need to stock up on them. On the other hand, we should pay attention to protection and moderate exercise. Capital Medical University Attached
