If it is difficult to detect spoilage during transportation, do not blindly believe in overseas shopping for "internet red drugs"
2024-05-09
Yesterday, the topic of "Japanese EVE painkillers containing ingredients prohibited by China" made it to the hot search, and the continuous safety issues of "overseas shopping" drugs have attracted attention. A journalist investigation found that multiple "overseas shopping" drugs are selling well on domestic e-commerce platforms. Wang Zhitong, the chief pharmacist of the Pharmacy Department at Peking University Third Hospital, reminds that there are certain safety risks associated with "overseas shopping" drugs, and the public should try not to purchase and take them on their own. "The ingredients of the internet celebrity's painkillers have not been approved." I have been taking this medicine for a year and the effect is still good. "Ms. Xue, 31, said that she had heard from friends who had studied in Japan before that" White Rabbit EVE Painkillers "were the" divine life-saving drugs "for Japanese women with menstrual pain. Therefore, she purchased three boxes of EVE painkillers through overseas purchasing agents and tried to use them to relieve menstrual pain. "I heard it contains a component called valproyl urea that may cause platelet problems. I wonder if it can still be eaten," she said anxiously. On a domestic e-commerce platform, EVE painkillers are also selling well. The reporter found through the entry "EVE painkillers" that multiple merchants sell EVE painkillers, with prices ranging from 40 yuan to 115 yuan per 3 boxes, and total sales reaching the highest or even exceeding 200000 pieces. In the advertising pages of these merchants, it is written that EVE painkillers can alleviate various pain problems such as headaches, toothache, physiological pain, and physical pain. The ingredients of EVE painkillers include valproylurea, also known as allyl isopropylacetylurea. The reporter did not find any data on drugs, raw materials, excipients, or other related databases on the official website of the National Medical Products Administration, indicating that China has not yet approved the use of valproylurea for drug production. A cold medicine imported from Japan, which contains up to 9 ingredients, is also popular on domestic e-commerce platforms, with monthly sales reaching 10000 pieces. This medicine is known as the "magical cold medicine" and "Japan's top ten miracle medicines" by merchants, and its main effects are to relieve colds, fever, and runny nose. Many businesses even boast that "if you catch a cold today, you can start work tomorrow by taking a pack." However, after consulting the instructions, the reporter found that there are actually as many as 9 ingredients, while Western medicine cold medicine in China generally only has two or three ingredients. Among the 9 ingredients, not only acetaminophen, which is used to cool and reduce fever, but also contains ingredients such as codeine, ephedrine, and caffeine, all of which are strictly restricted for use in China. In addition to oral medication, some overseas Taobao topical drugs also pose safety risks. There are problems with using "overseas shopping" drugs and it is difficult to protect rights. According to Wang Zhitong, the chief pharmacist of the Pharmacy Department of Peking University Third Hospital, overseas shopping drugs generally do not have Chinese instructions, and many consumers do not understand key information such as ingredients, contraindications, usage and dosage, and precautions. They may use them only based on customer service on relevant platforms or introductions from acquaintances, which may lead to improper use. In addition, drugs have certain requirements for storage, transportation, and preservation conditions, and overseas products often require cross-border transportation, during which spoilage is often difficult to detect. More importantly, most overseas drugs do not have particularly "magical" ingredients, and some "internet celebrity miracle drugs" even contain high-risk ingredients, making it difficult to protect their rights when problems arise. Therefore, it is recommended that the public avoid purchasing and taking it on their own as much as possible“
